How about Geology?
Continents form, because the Earth expands and its crust breaks apart.

How about Chemistry?
Let's distill the pure essence of life by distilling urine over and over again.

How about Physics?
Earth is flat and the other planets orbit it in epicycles.

How about Math?

How about Architecture?
That skyscraper is just another tower of Babylon and will attract God's wrath.

How about Literature?

How about Sports?

How about Art?
