Joseph Mastropaolo, Creationist, Offers $10,000 To Anyone Who Can Disprove Bible

[zappaman]

Here's an announcement sure to get some scientists talking: An outspoken creationist is offering thousands of dollars to anyone who can scientifically disprove the Biblical creation story.

Dr. Joseph Mastropaolo, who has a degree in kinesiology, is putting $10,000 on the line for his "Literal Genesis Trial," a "minitrial" in California that would involve a bailiff, court reporter and a judge. Only scientific evidence that is "objective, valid, reliable and calibrated" will be allowed, according to the Creation Hall of Fame website, which is collaborating with Mastrapaolo on the project.

A "non-literal Genesis advocate" would also be expected to put up $10,000. The winner of the "trial" would take home everything.

Mastropaolo said he's confident he will be keeping his money.

1. Idiot

Scientists don't go around proving negatives. Zero knowledge of the scientific method.
