Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New 'Intelligent Falling' Theory

KANSAS CITY, KS—As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.

"Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University.

and of course, God is also making sure objects are intelligently falling on other planets as well. But oh at various speeds of course, because gravity isn't about relative speed, mass, atmosphere density, etc...

My first instinct was to start frisking, but I'm not FALLING for it.

Man, these challenges to mainstream science are getting insane. I can't believe they are challenging gravity now. This is the sort of story I'd expect to see in the Onion.
