more blasphemy

Did Jesus's multiplications of loaves and fish defy the law of conservation of mass and energy?  Or did he coalesce the stuff out of energy, Star Trek replicator-style?

The majority liberal rationalist Protestant view back in the 70s, when people still had sense, was that the power of Jesus' preaching guilt-tripped the tailgating Hellenist yuppies in the audience to open up their copious picnic lunches and share them with the crowd. Today, of course, I think it more likely that the whole story is part of the two-thirds or so of the Bible that was Just Made Up.

But in the spirit of scientific creationism, I insist that our children be taught that current particle physics allows for the spontaneous appearance of particles from vacuum. To the secular humanist mind this may seem a highly improbable, abstract, paradoxical event; however, to the soul informed by faith, the theory is clearly an attempt by nonbelieving scientists to explain away divine guidance and intervention.
