Teacher informs students of evolution lies in textbooks

Post Reply New Topic

Havent hear that "running to higher elevations" hypothesis.

But back in the Seventies a fellow college student got all excited telling me that in Noah's Flood "the bigger heavier animals would sink deeper in the mud, and the smaller lighter ones would be buoyed up", and thats why dinosaurs are found lower down in the strata than are humans.

Apparently- in the last four decades Creationsists finnally realized that how "big and heavy" the animal is would be irrelevent to how buoyant it is. What matters is how dense it is. So now I guess they claim to have evidence that dinosaurs were 'denser' (literally, not mentally) than humans.

I can't believe that religious schools haven't been outlawed in supposedly 'developed' countries like the UK and USA.

Sure, some will argue that whatever your beliefs, parents should be able to choose a religious education for their children, and those of a different persuasion should respect their right to do so.

If a parent chose to sexually abuse their children, should people of a different persuasion accept that? Respect it? No.

Edit: I'm not against Religious Education in secular schools, I would argue that the teaching of it is more important than the teaching of History... as long as the curriculum is balanced, and the teacher isn't some dangerous fantasist.

I had something to say, and then I thought ahh f**k it what's the use.

Goodnight PPR!

I know, we go ahead and teach religion in school, just we start off with the jehad's that keep's wanting to blow the world up, Oh wait, your only wanting to teach our children YOUR Cristian religion and values, forgot religions don't like competition do they? I guess thats why they want to git rid of the evolutionists. Naa, thats not it, what it is, is they just want to get to everyones children and take the right of the parents away of what they want for their own kids. what if I was a satanist, and didn't want my kid to learn Christianity? going to try and force it down him anyways? I say keep religion out of schools, what? remove evolution too? well that would mean removing the sciences and all other things connected. or how about we just stop sending our children to schools altogether? problem solved. because thats what I would do if they started trying to teach religion in public schools, take my kid out and home school him. if you want religion in school use religion based privet schools for it, they already exist.

it's not impossible to believe in both God and evolution--just ask this guy:

great book btw, i have this one at home

Can you summarise his (the author's) spiritual beliefs in a couple of sentences? I'm genuinely interested.

I don't think it's impossible for scientists to have spiritual beliefs at all, after all, no one can disprove the existence of a higher force in the universe, spiritual or otherwise. Creationism on the other hand, is ripe for ridicule, and has no convincing arguments.

Again, I think the Creationist view point should also be taught in R.E. lessons in secular schools. Not in the way that encourages belief, but in the same way that a teacher might teach a bunch of kids about H.I.V.
Academic. Cautionary.
