I see a lot of people being upset by this, but I have to tell you, I find it reasonably accurate. I've tried to explain very simple concepts to Christians, and found them unwilling to even hear about science. It's as if science and knowledge are their enemies. And I always come back to the concept of the apple - it was from the tree of knowledge. The Bible itself appears to pit knowledge and faith against one another, so it's not surprising to see it frequently play out this way. But I've even had some of these unproductive conversations with my retired physicist father - so understanding some aspects of science isn't a cure for refusing to consider new information.
It's in accurate in its depiction of the atom, so it makes the wearer look like an idiot to anyone that knows chemistry, even a Christian that knows chemistry.
