WASHINGTON Newly minted chairman of the Senates Subcommittee on Science and Space, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is already making a big splash in his new role in Congress. The Science and Space committee directs Congressional funding and policy initiatives for departments like NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Though in the past hes made comments that fly in the face of scientific comprehension like, Climate change, as they have defined it, can never be disproved, because whether it gets hotter or whether it gets colder, whatever happens, theyll say, well, its changing, so it proves our theory, Republican leadership in the Senate has seen fit to appoint Cruz as one of the most premier arbiters of American scientific research and policy. Not wanting to avoid taking full advantage of his new powers, Cruz has decided to propose a new bill to the committee that would change the way science is seen in America
literally.
The Change the Spelling of Science to More Appropriately Reflect Americas Enduring Love of The Lord Thy God Jesus Christ Act would use the power of the Federal government to make the official spelling of science in the United States J-E-S-U-S. According to Cruz, he worked closely with robust patriots like Pat Robertson and the Westboro Baptist Church to make sure the change made sense not just from a Christian point of view, but from another Christians point of view as well. We all know that the Founders were devout, born-again Judeo-Christians who originally wanted to name the country The United States of Jesus Is Rad Land but didnt for other reasons, said Cruz to a gathering of a handful of reporters just after being sworn-in as the committee chair, and we intend to rectify that mistake in time, but it all starts with one step.
Today, Cruz continued, that step is forcing everyone in the world to change their spelling of a word. After all, we cant go about reminding the people that true Americans know the Earth is only 6,000 years old if people are still stubbornly clinging to science.' Cruz wiped a bit of sweat from his brow at this point, then got down onto one knee as he shouted, And know this, brothers and sisters, only by completely removing science from our lexicon, can we return this country to the hands of God and Jesus, where it belongs.
When reminded that without science wed all be living to only about 25 years old, wed be crazily overpopulated and undernourished, and hed not even be broadcast on TV, Cruz paused for a moment, then shaking his head said, There are no teevees in the Bible. Theres not a single IP address in the entire New Testament. If we didnt need it back when dinosaurs were playing catch with Adam and Eve, we sure as heck-fire dont need it today.
