ME: So, I was at this crazy website last night, this creationist guy who thinks humans existed at the same time as dinosaurs, and tries to prove it...it's bizarre, you have to see it.
HER: ...Yeah, but what about Africa?
ME: ..What ABOUT Africa?
HER: Well, you know, what's it called, pangaea? You know, so the dinosaurs were actually in Africa at the same time that humans were.
ME: Um, no, dinosaurs went extinct a really really long time before we evolved into humans.
HER: *rolls her eyes and gives coworkers the "Zach is dumb" look*
THE US PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS FAILED US ALL

Or something. It's obviously wrong, but that's the only thing I can think of since she obviously has a fundamental misunderstanding of (a) dinosaurs, (b) humans, and (c) Pangaea.

These days, I just let people believe that humans had to watch out for dinosaurs when they left their caves during the day. Especially the fire-breathing Dragonasaur!

People weren't on Pangea, to my knowledge.

Pong came before the Genesis. Just because both were sold at Sears doesn't mean they were there at the same time.

Same plot as Footloose definitely. It was probably in all seriousness pitched as Footloose meets March of the Penguins.
Everyone knows that dancing saves. Parliament always preached that you have to shoot endangered species with your bop gun.
Aquaboogie would have been the perfect soundtrack to the big underwater synchronized swimming scene. Although "Lets Do I Again" in that scene was one of the few good bits of music in the whole thing.

Shortly after school began in September, the teacher told his sixth-period students at Kearny High School that evolution and the Big Bang were not scientific, that dinosaurs were aboard Noah’s ark, and that only Christians had a place in heaven, according to audio recordings made by a student whose family is now considering a lawsuit claiming Mr. Paszkiewicz broke the church-state boundary.
“If you reject his gift of salvation, then you know where you belong,µ Mr. Paszkiewicz was recorded saying of Jesus. “He did everything in his power to make sure that you could go to heaven, so much so that he took your sins on his own body, suffered your pains for you, and he’s saying, ‘Please, accept me, believe.’ If you reject that, you belong in hell.µ
Of course, the kid who recorded him is now being attacked, even receiving a death threat.
The article touches on something else:
Greice Coelho, who took Mr. Paszkiewicz’s class and is a member of his youth group, said in a letter to The Observer, the local weekly newspaper, that Matthew was “ignoring the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gives every citizen the freedom of religion.µ Some anonymous posters on the town's electronic bulletin board, Kearnyontheweb.com, called for Matthew's suspension.
which is something that's been popping up more & more in fundie political circles, that "freedom of religion" translates to "freedom to annoy your class/office-mates with tone-deaf evangelizing."
So it adds another bit to the rightwinger perception of persecution( and resulting self-righteousness), 'coz the evil secular libruls are taking away their freedoms, etc.

this was par for the course at my high school...my biology teacher flat-out said he didn't believe in evolution and wasn't going to teach it.

Also, what better way to settle the debate than with a friendly board game?

Evangelistic, educational, entertaining.At last, a board game that reveals the insanity of perhaps the greatest hoax of our times -- the unscientific "theory of evolution.""Intelligent Design vs Evolution" is unique in that the playing pieces are small rubber brains and each team plays for "brain" cards. Each player uses his or her brains to get more brains, and the team with the most brains wins. It has been designed to make people think . . . and that's exactly what it does."Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron are doing much more than revealing the bankruptcy of molecules-to-man evolution. They have a greater purpose: proclaiming biblical authority and reaching the lost with the precious gospel message. Enjoy this wonderful family game as you also become better equipped to defend our precious Christian faith." -- Ken Ham, President, Answers in Genesis.

we get plenty of candidates. I'm wondering how well this one would go over with the same crowd:

This new game is sure to become a family favorite! Learn about your body and have fun at the same time! Get ready, flick the spinner, and grab your piece! The first player to build their body wins. You can choose between nerves, skeleton, organs, and muscles. Some of the body pieces may even have to be swapped or donated to the body bank-just like in real life!

So the player uses their brain to respond to environmental stimuli in the form of questions and develops a bigger and better brain as a result? Sounds a bit like that scientific theory I can't quite recall right now.
