Mikhayl I would hardly say something as silly as dinosaur fossils were put there to test our faith. In fact, I've never said what my faith was or whether I believe in creation or not. Give children the evidence that we have and let them make up their own minds.

Give them the evidence and let them sort it out?
creationism is a dogma taught to them prior to critical
thinking skills development at an age whereby they
are unable to judge in an effectively objective manner
as the programming of a dogma comes from there
whole world of input their parents.
there is no evidence to observe in creationism even if
your teaching it. It wont hold water against real
science if you wait until they arent vulnerable and offer
them a data source that doesnt dominate them emotionally
and spritiually.
Promoting Creation Science as an activity
(not saying U R D.T.)
is in my mind equivalent to denying the legitmacy
of Copernicus. We dont teach the earth at the
centre of the universe because we cant deny
the repeatable observable evidence. |
I tried to drop it and you have to bring it up again. I never said I believed in creationism, per se (but it is my right to do so, or to believe in a non-strictly interpreted version of it, if I bloody well care to). I never said it should be taught in school. Whatever dogma is taught to children in their homes is NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS OR THE GOVERNMENTS. I FECKING AGREE THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL. IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?
I do, however, happen to believe that there is the possiblity of a power greater than the all-omniscient human mind (extreme sarcasm most definitely intended).
