They Might Be Giants Teach Your Kids About Science

It turns out that Neal Pollack isn’t the only person who wants your kids to grow up not believing in creationism. Indie rock stalwarts They Might Be Giants have a new kids’ album out, and the first track (below) is all about the virtues of science. It also seems like they’re subtly slamming religion, too.

This is why I’m glad that my mother is both a convert and a chemist. My entire upbringing was suffused with the teachings of a hard-core Jewish former-Evangelical-Christian with an MSc in chemistry. She’s actually told me that for her, learning chemistry brought her closer to G-d, that she felt she was learning how He created the universe. My upbringing was everything a 12th century Spanish rabbi or a 19th century German Orthodox rabbi with a broad humanistic and scientific university education could have ever hoped for. (I’m speaking of Rambam/Maimonides and Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch.)
TMBG taught me that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas.
They also taught me that "D" is for Drums.
