He must have gone to high school in Tennesse, but why should we believe what "science" tells us. Erik
I'm reminded of something I saw - I think on TV - a few years ago. An
enterprising reporter or filmmaker interviewed Harvard students on the day of their graduation. One question was, "Why is it warmer in summer than winter?" One fellow blithely asserted that the earth was closer to the sun and that accounted for the warmer days. I guess he hadn't heard of the southern hemisphere, let alone how perihelion (a term I'm sure he had never heard, either) actually occurs in December. It was shocking, and a bit sad, how many of his fellow graduates had the same response.
Maybe there's a project for Joe next graduation season?
