US Creationists back Climategate scientists By Damian Thompson Religion Last updated: December 3rd, 2009 106 Comments Comment on this article This just in. The Institute for Scriptural Geology in Waco, Texas, today offered “unswerving support and fervent prayers” for the scientists caught up in Climategate. Professor Elmer Moody, director of the institute, told a press conference: “We know what it’s like to have the integrity of our research questioned by unbelievers, so our hearts go out to those good folks at the East Anglican University. “Our work proves conclusively that, once proper adjustments are made by adding up the numbers in the Book of Daniel, the geological record shows that the Earth is 6,000 years old. Yet we have had to endure years of mockery from skeptics who refuse to accept that time is running out.” (The institute follows a strict premillennial dispensationalist timetable that forecasts the Rapture for 2011.) The institute’s head of research, Dr Hiram J Sankey, added: “Science is complicated stuff, and from time to time the data have implied that the Earth may be older than a few thousand years old. But then we discovered that, by tearing the geological charts into strips, highly significant gaps in the fossil record appeared. That was a neat trick, huh?” Prof Moody added: “I think my distinguished colleague is using ‘trick’ in the technical sense, to mean a divinely inspired methodological innovation that, you know, kinda tidies things up a bit.” The professor was quick to dismiss claims that the institute’s publications were not peer-reviewed. “Why, that’s plain nonsense,” he said. “Hiram peer-reviews my papers, and I peer-review his. You journalists just don’t understand academia, do you?” blogs.telegraph.co.uk
