Yes it certainly could, but when one starts pointing out the high degree of physical and historical unlikelihood for things like: the Red Sea parted, Jonah in the whale, Christ resurrected and a six thousand year old earth, people's feelings seem to get hurt. Though this woman is clearly an idiot there are many people who are actually competent human beings who subscribe to such beliefs. Better perhaps to weed out the pea-brains using a different method.

This is just breathtaking. I had to rewind this sentence a couple of times just to make sure I was hearing correctly, but she actually does seem to be trying to draw a logical connection between an absence of environmental laws and earth's continued existence. I like the proficiency test idea, although one that had people flunking for the young earth stuff would have the religious groups charging discrimination immediately, but it looks like a simple symbolic logic test might be enough to boot the political chaff.

The good word from Kenny: "We featured this video last week on facebook after dutifully 'borrowing' from Arizona Guardian. Looks like it is north of 40,000 hits on YouTube. What say we push it over 100,000 before the end of July?"
