Still a Lie (Portal, Still Alive parody)

Parody of "Still Alive" from the game 'Portal' discussing the (then) recent controversial ruling that allows for 'debate' in U.S. public classrooms with regard to evolution, global warming, etc. *shudders*

lyrics per request;

This isn't science
They're dreaming it up along the way
argument from ignorance is failure
Religion repackaged
another creationist disguise
a trojan horse for public schools
but we all know what's inside

Should we teach the kids their astrological signs?
and consult the ouija - it could save us some time
Who needs answers and truth
when you're dumbing down the youth
with creationist fables and lies?

Well, Michael J. Behe
said some things were just far too complex
Seems Michael needs to build a better mousetrap
Ken tore it to pieces
and showed that the pieces work just fine
No god required, this case is tired,
You really need a new shtik

But they'll keep on trying 'till they run out of faith
'preach the controversy' while there is no debate
If the answers not clear, trust in ignorance and fear
teaching doctrine that is Still a Lie.

They go ahead and teach it
to hell with the Constitution now
They slipped god through the back door of the classroom
In Louisiana
and made it a joke, ha-ha, bad science
The children have my sympathy
they'll never learn how to think

But it's really not that complicated at all
there are reasons that it's written into our law
there's no science in faith, keep it separate from the state
let the children know it's Still a Lie

it's anti-science and it's Still a Lie
just like astrology it's Still a Lie
it's just creationism in disguise
and like the flat earth it is Still a Lie
and when your dead it will be Still a Lie, Still a Lie, Still a Lie

While intelligent design isn’t perfect, neither in evolution. Intelligent design should (and in my experience is) used to provide a possible answer to the holes in evolution. Keeping that in mind, I agree that intelligent design isn’t a replacement to evolution, and more importantly evolution should continue to be taught in school. ID simply should be presented by teachers as an answer (one of many) for the problems in evolution.

@asittingduck16 Though this isn't the best space for an actual debate (due to space limitations), I wonder if you might tell us about one of these 'holes' in evolution that is better explained by positing 'intelligent design'?

I love that "bad science", XD

@SuperGamerDude01 Your not getting my point. This is about religion. Sure, it's a parody, but parodies are supposed to be something about the game or song.

[SuperGamerDude01]

@theschnookle Because the song is from Portal!

[InBeforTheLock]

nice video, i liked it

[theschnookle]

@SuperGamerDude01 I know that. But how is this parody related to portal?

[SuperGamerDude01]

@theschnookle Dumbass its a parody of "Still Alive" from Portal.

[micmac274]

@JindeerP There is no truth to astrology. It's utter bullshit. The problem with it is it'll deny people who believe it the chance to find a near-perfect job or near-perfect partner. Look up "Barnum statements" or "Forer effect". I don't believe in Evolution - it's a FACT. It's stupid to say "I believe in evolution.", it gives Creationists fuel to say it's just what you believe.

@theschnookle

you breathing is offensive to me

STOP THANKS

[cinconumbercero]

[theschnookle]

This doesn't have to do with anything related to Portal.

This is offensive
