The text is showing, it just makes no sense.

It's a satirical riff on a certain type of "story" which you
occasionally see around the internet. You can probably imagine the
content of these proported-to-be-true stories from the satirical
version, but here's an example: http://www.snopes.com/religion/chalk.asp

Yep, it is, and they are.

Some people find this kind of thing amusing. Personally I find it
frightening.

I find it frightening that people who don't understand science decide it
isn't important to understand it and then make wild assumptions about the
world and reject scientific explanations that are well accepted.
But I find the reactions to those people to be pretty entertaining, on
balance.

bingo!
That it's written as a humorous piece should be self-evident by all the
stereotypes and exaggerations. An eagle perching upon the american flag and
dropping a tear? A quite jewish smirk? God himself showing up? A SEAL in the
classroom?
no one laughed a bit? It's actually mocking republican nationalist christians,
despite the professor getting the flames in the text...
