Wow, it astounds me that textbooks can get this bad. I was homeschooled by very religious parents, and they used religion-based textbooks as well (from a business called "Apalogia Ministries"), but not NEARLY as bad as these. I think the most annoying thing is that every other paragraph just had to mention how awesome god is for creating something this awesome. Then in highschool biology, there was an entire module devoted to how evolution is wrong..... ugh :p
I got you beat though. My High School "science textbook" said that the sun proves that god exists. How? Because even after 6000 years it is still burning hydrogen despite the fact that there is no oxygen in space.
Ahh...Abeka, teaching children pure bull since 1954.
Electricity is the moving of electrons, and there are different theories about the origin of the moon, however, you are mostly right. The fact that anyone would try to teach children something so mindnumbingly stupid seriously appals me. I too let out a loud "WHAT?!" when you started reading from that book...I need to invest in some facepalm protection gear if I'm gonna keep watching your videos.
In middle school teacher taught us that the moon itself had no gravity it just had leftover gravity from the earth. See our regular science teacher was on paternity leave so they put a substitute teacher in charge for the rest of the year.. despite her having no knowledge about science.
I would've corrected her, but I had been thrown out of the gifted course because i corrected the actual science teacher a while back. So figured it just be best to keep my mouth shut and ignore everything.
Please point the authors of that "textbook" (I use the term as loosely as possible) in the direction of Edinburgh. I'll take them along to the James Clerk Maxwell Institute to learn about electromagnetic theory, then to the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh to learn about the Moon and cosmology, then to my opticians for them to pay for new glasses to replace those I've just broken through multiple facepalming. I wouldn't read that unintelligent bs to nursery schoolkids, let alone fourth graders.
and when you point out how fucking incompetent this so-called creator is, when you point out flaws in creation, in this supposedly divine plan according to the biblical fantasy story, they'll say 'who are you to judge god?' and 'you don't get to decide what god does! god does things his way whether you like it or not (and coincidentally, they always agree with what their god does). Basically they're saying we should expect less of this omnipotent god. 'god did it this way, just accept it'. No.
@TheBarkingAtheist That doesn't change that the deffinition of electrisity is the movement of electrons. Ions are electricly charged atoms or molecules.
@TheBarkingAtheist@Elsoddo , I think both are actually correct. Both electrons and ions are electrically charged particles. It's the movement or concentration of electrically charged particles that form electricity. The concentration causes tension (Voltage), the movement causes current (Amperage)... Well... At least, in a nutshell...

Oh, have felt and seen electricity, BTW. For those that blissfully are unaware, it feels like: painful contractions of every muscle in your body combined with pressure in your skull.
It was written for 4th graders, most adults wouldn't even know how the moon originated. However on a side note; look up "evolutionist" in the Oxford dictionary, it's a real word and can be applied so.
@secretk33per Exactly! The educational standards in my district in Tennessee are horrendous. Not in terms of creationism but just poor standards in general. Things really need to change :/
@HappyAtheist76 Lets hope and "pray" that TBA's governor doesn't win then. If he does, we're more fucked than when Bush and Obama took office combined.
Daniel, dealing with idiots and primitive religious people is the easiest thing to do.
I wonder how you can challenge the educated people among them. I dunno if you know it, but there are many scientists that believe in God and take the bible not literally. Some of them even won the Noble Prize.
"Anti-intellectual child abuser". Amen. In some ways (and I stress some), private Christian schools with textbooks like these are the American version of madrassas, leaving kids in a dangerously ignorant place by adolescence. [Go ahead, someone get angry.]
When I tell these monkeys that I'm man-made and god had nothing to do with my creation they say "Well god made the human that made you so god made you." I'm glad I don't feel pain because the stupid burns -__-
I think I heard a member of Biolgos the Christian pro evolution group of scientists say that you have to put what science shows us before what the bible tells us.
I say Vogter facebook this book and looked at the "Moon" section I was screaming at my computer for like an hour. The stupid it burned so bad I was wanting bleach for my brain.
the reason why the moon reflects so much light is 1 no atomosphere and 2 a mineral called plagioclase feldspar which is rich in calcium ,aluminium and silicon and small traces of titanium , i guess i went to a junior school where they taught some real science ,
@jmm1233 Hell, even I didn't know about that. I guess that can be chalked up to the fact that I have only been subjected to Texas schools. Get me out of here!
@TheBarkingAtheist yes , uk schools seem better then texas schools , we even learnt about evolution in a generalized way through botony and incests reproduction and bioecosystems , it was fun since we got to play in the dirt planting flowers , most of it though when it came to cosmology was that we had to watch the video tapes from bbc2 eduction series and take notes
Thumbs up for saying fuck so few times. I think If I made this video, the point where I started reading I would just start chanting fuck until the stupid went away.
@rzq100 I'm not sure if there is a clip, but I know there are a couple posts about it. Just Google something along the lines of "Bill Nye, Waco, bible." That should get you what you're looking for.
@TheBarkingAtheist Electrons are not ions and their motion certainly produces electricity. More to the point I want to make however is that to say "ions (or electrons) in motion" only tells something about ions and electrons, nothing about the actual EM force. The fact is no one has a clue what energy is or any form of energy including electricity. We only know how it affects things, and that all things, striped of their informational content, are energy.
@TheBarkingAtheist I do not believe this is correct. An ion is an atom or molecule where the total number of electrons and protons is not equal. Table salt dissolved in water, for instance, gives Na+ and Cl- (I may have the +/- signs on the wrong atom). I think what you might be confused about here is the flow of electrons (typically) from one ion to the other -- from a negative ion to a positive one. The ions themselves are not what moves (well, they do, but they're not the electricity).
@firefly4f4 No, take brain cells, they have electric activity yet not electrons are flowing around but ions are. Every stream of charged particles between two places with a potential difference is, I think, considered to be an electric current.
@189643478 Potentially, yes, any stream of charged particles is an electric current. However, I maintain that what is most commonly referred to as electricity -- as in what flows in power lines and lightning bolts -- is a flow of electrons, not ions.
From typing "what is electricity" into google:
about.com -- Electricity is the flow of electrons.
edu.pe.ca -- Electricity is the flow of moving electrons.
Then you have amasci.com which explicitly states it has some contradictory definitions.
As an atheist from Waco Texas, I feel the need to apologize to bill nye.
