It's a good idea to teach comparative religion in school. This lets all sides of the theological world get a fair hearing (rather than just xianty, for example).
People only exposed to one faith are more closed minded about other faiths and therefor cannot really make an informed decision as to what to beleive in.
Once they make that choice (say Hinduism over Islam, for example) they are free to go to the relevant holy place to learn and worship freely.
Teaching religion as it is done in such a place should never take place at school: I for one remember being in primary school and have to say the 'lords prayer' with little choice in the matter.
When you talk about the 'facts' are you talking about the 'facts' of reality or the 'facts' of any of the religions we have to choose from?

Did that make sense in your head?

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Re: ugh acronyms
Don't feel bad, Arty: when I first found the Landover Baptist site I immediately registered to liberal-rage and made several pompous post about how wrong it is to keep African children as house pets...
Then I thought: 'hang on, I'm being SO trolled'.

Re: How to teach Evolution
Children are nowhere near as dumb as you seem to beleive.
Colbard writes:
Show what nature has but don't put forward dumb conclusions, let the students make up their own mind.
The problem with that is that many things are non intuitive.
For example: levels of anxiety decrease with exposure to the anxiety provoking situation. But intuitively we avoid anxiety provoking situations. Children need to be informed about how the world works when it is counter intuitive.
Does they Sun go around the Earth? Sure looks that way.
Does the Moon circle the Earth? Sure looks that way.
Both of the above statements are false: but it is not obvious unless one is informed why.
Bo you see?

In China children were taught that Chairman Mao makes the sun rise. That's force.
Education would be to take them onto the China wall at sunrise.
Sigh.
That would not educate the children. It would reinforce the idea that 'Chairman Mao' can make the Sun come up even when they are at the Great Wall of China.
How do you not understand why this is wrong?

By the way it was a state school with an atheist teacher, who by the way became a Christian soon after.

Why would it be necessary for a whole brigade to pounce on a "delusional" with lesson sticks if the suspect is of no consequence to the system?
Because these delusionalisticals inevitably start wanting to to teach their delusions in science classes.
Google the 'Wedge Document'.

Re: Belief in science
You believe that science is a flawless self justifying machine, when it is also based on fundamental human beliefs which drive the conclusions considered to be evidence.
One of these days science will double over and die, taking the theories of the last century with it.
That is already beginning to happen now.
It will also be uncovered that the dating methods used are based on false premises.
Do you realise that you are responding to a post cautioning against attacking science rather than describing the evidence for 'creation science' by attacking science.
Being 18 is no excuse for not reading the posts that you are responding to.

Re: Belief in science instead of fantasy ...
And if that valid rational is valid, but not to the readers, then according to your system it is not valid, and remains invalid until the rationality of the readers reaches a point where it can rationalize something which they could not before.
That's not what RAZD means. If you believe something to be true you have to have a rationale supported by evidence that can be examined.
You have presented no evidence (if I'm wrong tell me the post number because I can't find it).
You have however, lied through your teeth about evidence.

Re: Belief in science
Religion is part of a conflict between Christ and Satan, of which all religions, both pagan and christian are practically under the guide of Satan who has masterminded the state of confusion, as well as the animosity between genuine science and matters of faith.
It can be rationally proven in a few sentences from the Bible that every religion is false, yet many persuasions of Christendom claim this book as their guide.
It is a total farce that works well in favor continued ignorance.
So in essence we have both science and religion divorcing people from God the creator. One through unbelief or humanism, the other through false doctrines or the doctrines of men - which is also humanism.
Young lady, you are in a science forum! How is your take on one version of Christianity significant?
