iSnob

I read with mostly confusion an editorial in the New York Times tonight about their suggestion that President Bush get involved in the faith-in-schools debate of Texas. The editorial obliquely mentions that in West Texas, students are taught "that NASA scientists have accumulated evidence of two days missing in time, thereby confirming biblical text about the sun standing still."

As someone committed to evidence-based approaches to understanding issues of faith, I was stunned that I had never heard of this before. So I did a quick Google search, and found that, alas, the NASA-missing-day thing is an urban legend. It took me about two minutes to discover this fact; but the schnooks in West Texas have yet to catch on.

Does my snobish heart proud.
