Just when I thought the crazy antics of university faculty could not possibly get worse, UNCW Professor Mike Adams reports on establishment of a new scholarly journal, The Journal of Genetic Rationalization. In his article, he prints the table of contents from the first issue.
Here is the title and abstract of one article:
The Christian Missionary Gene.
The present research questions why people would make decisions that
would cause them to be persecuted for religious reasons. It also
questions why people would make decisions tending to reduce their life
expectancy. The present study, conducted in Sudan, concludes that there
is a gene that causes people to pursue a Christian Missionary
lifestyle. This conclusion is not based on scientific evidence. It is
instead based on logic that begins with the assumption that people tend
to choose lifestyles that extend their life expectancy. Therefore, a
lifestyle that is risky is not chosen within the common understanding
of the word ?choice.? (emphasis added)
Professor Adams comments:
The benefits of the mass printing and circulation of The Journal of Genetic Rationalization can
hardly be overstated. People who had previously supposed that the bad
things in their lives were a consequence of bad decisions will be
relieved. There will be no more guilt and stress caused by the
awareness and acknowledgement of their own imperfections. And, best of
all, this journal will give readers this freedom while simultaneously
freeing scholars from supporting their claims with evidence.In addition to the relief of past guilt, this new journal will
provide future benefits. Readers will never have to make adjustments in
their own personal conduct. The genetic rationalization is fixed and
permanent. Once adopted, it might as well be coded in one?s DNA.
I better double check the calendar. Yes, it is February 1st not April 1st.
