It’s time for another lesson from The Professor!
I’ve been lectured many times by this self-proclaimed teacher.
And I take good notes.
He doesn’t appreciate being held accountable for his pompous proclamations of the past.
Observe:
Don’t You Dare Tell Me What I Said!

Ha! My dad actually was a real physicist and I have a fond memory if him telling me, “Never trust a six grade science teacher. They’re all liars!” Later when Bill Nye came along he said, “See, told ya so.” My dad has passed away and I still can’t seem to debunk his words.
I do so hope the Professor is lying about his credentials because he’s said some very unkind things about special needs, “psycho children, ” and mental health, and all I can say is…….homeschool.
He is lying about his credentials.
He posted a link to his “certificate” on your blog. It is a Word document. It took me about 3 seconds to find the original certificate he used as a template.
He is neither a teacher nor a scientist.
So he’s a phony liar. Got it. And that’s good. I wouldn’t want him actually teaching and indoctrinating my children.
If he’s not also lying about where he gets the “Taboo” part of his name, then parents of middle schoolers across the country ought to be relieved…
Ugh, the friggin “switch topics so that the other becomes avoiding” routine.
It’s such a selfish conversation technique. I don’t know how many times I start a conversation on topic to the OP (such as morality) and then it becomes a grill fest about the evidence I have for the resurrection…
If you attempt to stop going down the rabbit hole, clearly it’s because you have no answer, apparently…
It would help if I understood science. But I don’t…
John, I think you understand science better than the “professor” does.
A great scientist looks at all the data, and allows the universe (and God) to be far greater than the limited human mind and soul to fully grasp and understand. True scientists allow the Infinite to exist, with joy, awe and wonder.
Arrogance ignores Truth that challenges a tiny, limited, egotistical world-view. That’s very bad “science”.
I love your talking about the Great Flood traditions.
I actually had an existential professor point out that in all the early oral traditions that pre-dated written records, each civilization kept alive a Great Flood story. He was particularly taken with matching the ancient Sumerian Gilgamesh story (Utnapishtim) with the Biblical Noah’s account of the Great Flood.
Some atheists will not admit to a cataclysmic flood, even when Flood evidence is seen in the geologic record. The most stubborn (stupid) atheists deny the Great Flood, simply because it is mentioned in the Bible; even when our ancestors kept the oral traditions of the Great Flood alive.
Ignoring physical evidence (and ancient records) because of arrogant spite is not good science.
Btw, I love, love, love your sketch about bathroom hand dryers. 😂
(Have you seen the latest research about how they blow poop onto freshly-washed hands? Sticking with wiping your hands on your pants is a good idea 😂)
I understand why the Professor would rather talk with kids. They live in the moment. They’re not arrogant and stuck in their ways. When you point out to a child that he said something contradictory the day before, he usually just smiles while his wheels turn. (He’s not allowed to call names.)
Watching kids learn is marvelous!
One just needs to be careful when asking leading questions. It’s the heavy responsibility of a teacher not to lead a child in the wrong direction. I’ve been warned many times not to “indoctrinate” young ones–which many Atheists define as “Something bad all religious people do and zero Atheists do.”
I would caution the Professor that indoctrination can happen anywhere.
