Elder Rasband’s Science Lesson: How Noah’s Flood Caused Continental Drift

Never forget how genetically akin to chimpanzees we are. We might as well be arguing about the will of Zeus.

Science, take note! Elder Rasband just dropped a new theory on continental drift, and it's a howler. In Rasband's recent remarks, he claimed the continents didn’t drift over millions of years, but were violently slammed apart by Noah’s Flood. Pair that with a literal Missouri location for the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve as our direct biological ancestors, and you have a textbook case of anti-science ignorance. Just imagine the anti-science rhetoric we'll see at General Conference if Rasband ever becomes prophet. Science textbook publishers, brace yourselves.
