That's basically everything, though.

Reminds me of creationist textbooks trying to teach about electricity.

Electricity is a mystery. No one has ever observed it or heard it or felt it. We can see and hear and feel only what electricity does. We know that it makes light bulbs shine and irons heat up and telephones ring. But we cannot say what electricity itself is like.We cannot even say where electricity comes from. Some scientists think that the sun may be the source of most electricity. Others think that the movement of the earth produces some of it. All anyone knows is that electricity seems to be everywhere and that there are many ways to bring it forth.

What kind of an ego do you have to have to think you know everything about science, so you write a textbook, and when you get to electricity, you don't know anything about it, but since you know everything about everything, if you don't know anything about electricity, that means nobody else does, either?

I dunno, but that was my textbook growing up. College was fun.

Sweet baby Jesus

That's the problem, they can believe in Jesus, but not electricity.

If that’s real I assume it’s less that they don’t believe in electricity or even that they don’t understand it. Probably more “portray difficult concepts as magical so that the idea of blind faith isn’t so difficult to digest” kind of intellectual dishonesty

That’s if it’s real though and not a nonsense meme to generate outrage. Highly sus that a book title isn’t mentioned
