Oil Science Rick: The best scientists of all! They can drill down for miles and extract OIL up to 9,000 years old! Evolutionism Rick: These fruitcakes want a monopoly on what we teach our kids. I say teach 'em creationism too, and they're smart enough to figger out what's what! Social Science Rick: The worst of the bunch! They'll point to the fact that abstinence-only education statistically leads to higher teen pregnancy rates.
