religious opposition to science
Like all great satire, this piece from The Onion on “Christian Right Lobbies To Overturn Second Law Of Thermodynamics” is almost too close to reality for comfort:
“This is America…[a]nd in this country, we have the God-given right to change laws we don't think are Christian. We are united in our demands that the second law of thermodynamics be repealed, and our voice will be heard no matter what. That's just a plain fact, and nothing anybody says can ever change it."
