The more that science confirms that most of what is in holy texts is a load of BS, the more desperately religious conservatives cling to their fantasies. Of course, these delusions are helped along by the network of the Christian Right — Fox News.
During a segment on the recent discovery of gravitational waves, Dr. Jeff Zweerink, a guest on the holy roller network and minister of a ridiculous outfit that promotes creationism, says this discovery means that his god is real. According to Zweerink, these waves mean that the Big Bang Theory is no longer just a theory, and that there had to be a cause. That cause was divine. Dr. Zweerink cannot explain why it’s his god and not any of the other deities that have been known of throughout history.
From Patheos:
In short, his argument goes like this. Gravitational waves confirm the Big Bang. The Big Bang implies there was a beginning to the universe. Someone had to cause that beginning. That cause was God. QED.
It’s not a new argument by any means. (And somehow, all of this also points to Jesus dying for your sins. Because logic.)
This is what passes for science education on Fox News.
