I woke up thinking it was Saturday.
I woke up at 5:45am to get the teens off to school, then I went back to bed for a little bit more sleep, and when I woke up the second time, I thought it was Saturday.
I really did.
I came out of my room, expecting to find Mark still sleeping, and Sebastian already awake and playing video games.
I even had plans for "today", I was going to take the boys to the movies, to either see Shutter or 10,000 B.C.
The teens want to see the latter, and of course, I want to see the scary one.
But it turns out it's only Tuesday.
*sigh*
The teens are at school, it really is Tuesday, not Saturday.
Bummer.
After I finish my breakfast, I'll be hopping on my elliptical for 20 minutes, and then I'll get cracking on the housework I didn't do all weekend.
But I wanted to leave you with this video about "B.C." tours through a natural history museum.
The B.C. stands for biblically correct.
It absolutely blows my mind.
Radiometric dating is completely ignored, they claim that the T-Rex, with his claws and giant teeth, was actually a fruit and leaf eater, and only started killing other animals for meat after Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
At 7:29, at least they admit that there are several problems for the creationists.
This type of stuff makes me feel so sad for these children.
They are all home schooled, they are only taught what their parents and churches want them to know, and the facts about evolution are completely ignored.
They call the dioramas of how some dinosaurs lived, "artwork", not science.
It kills me when the tour guide says to the kids, "It's a great fairy tale, but it's not good science."
Really? All those bones are just a fairy tale, yet they have absolutely nothing to show the proof for their theory of creationism.
Baffling.

I just watched that video...scary stuff.
I grew up going to Catholic school, so I had to go to religion classes and all. I don't remember them teaching us much about cavemen and dinosaurs, most of the stuff I'd read about them as a kid was from books that I got from the library. Even when I was really young, I questioned all of this Adam & Eve stuff, even as an eight year old kid, evolutionism made a lot more sense to me.
I had to learn to keep my mouth shut about it, though, because it would get me in trouble with the nuns if I questioned it.
I'm lucky in that I wasn't shielded from anything, as these kids are. So I was able to get those library books, read them, and think for myself. But no doubt, these kids aren't allowed to go to a library and pick out books they want, I'm sure the parents pick only what they want the kids to know about.
Very, very sad.
