I think it’s called “Index of Creationist Claims” Brooke. I’ll check further for you if you wish.

nemski,

My physics teacher actually did this in high school demonstrating circuits. He had us get in a circle and hold hands and he turned on the circuit. As soon as it started, we all dropped hands because we felt the shock. It was mild but very unpleasant. It’s not dangerous at very low voltages, but I doubt many teachers would do it today.

Another Mike, in one of the articles he said he’s been doing it for years — not the burning. It only left a slight coloration that went away or so he said.

I was actually hoping Unstable Isotope would be able to give us some sort of scientific reason on why a teacher would apply electricity to a student. I don’t think there is any, but inquiring minds want to know.

Nemski, I kept waiting to see what he had to say about burning crosses into the skin of two students. That was the first thing that jumped out at me.

I think if you mixed up blocks for years, you might end up with Mr. Freshwater’s brain.

Oh, and for any creationist who want to argue - here you go: The Index of Creationist Claims. I read there's now an iphone app the index! I read a book over the Christmas break called Why Evolution Is True by Jerry Coyne. I recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. It lays out the evidence very clearly and refutes clearly some common creationist claims.

Wow, what a jerk. He sounds like a bully, and I feel sorry for his students.

Why do creationists pretend that evolution is random. It isn’t.
