"ROCKS CAN'T EVOLVE, WHERE DID THEY COME FROM MR. DARWIN?" I mean, I'm assuming that the Fellowship Baptist Creation Science Fair 2001 website is a joke. Others seem to think so.

But maybe it's not. The middle-school Creation Science Fair winner, for example:
1st Place: "Life Doesn't Come From Non-Life"
Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from non-life. Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) - into a sealed glass jar. The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to sunlight, for three weeks. (Patricia also prayed to God not to do anything miraculous during the course of the experiment, so as not to disqualify the findings.) No life evolved. This shows that life cannot come from non-life through natural processes.

To me, this page on the site steers me towards believe it's parody. Also, there's probably not a "National Association of Christian Game Theoreticians", as this page suggests. You?

(Via one loyal reader who thought this would be up my alley.)
