When we teach Creationism, we are teaching children to accept as scientific fact what has been accepted on faith. This goes against the scientific method because in science, the initial hypothesis is always subject to change. With creationism the faith is never subject to change regardless of the evidence. Creationism start with a conclusion and seek evidence to support the conclusion. If the evidence does not support the conclusion then we disregard the evidence because we cannot reject what we accept on faith. It is just another means of defending the faith. It's not science and we shouldn't be using our tax dollars to teach it to our kids. If the churches want to teach this, that's ok with me, but not with our tax dollars.Never mind the failed attempt to deflect, the thread isnt about the Big Bang Theory, its about Christian fundamentalists teaching school children that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time, find 33 top scientists who agree with that.
Those tax dollars are the tax dollars of fundamentalists, too. Do you think they should have to subsidize teachings abhorent to their beliefs?
Guess the creationist have their own interpretationIt is appears that Muslims are much closer to convention scientific thought in regard to creation and evolution than Christians.Perhaps for the benefit of the limp wristers on here we can show what they teach in muslim schools? Maybe liberals will insult that too? Will you?
Muslims interpret the description of a "six day" creation as six distinct periods or eons. The length of these periods is not precisely defined, nor are the specific developments that took place during each period.
Allah is never "done" with His work, because the process of creation is ongoing. Each new child who is born, every seed that sprouts into a sapling, every new species that appears on earth, is part of the ongoing process of Allah's creation.

Question: Doesnt 2 Peter 3:8 indicate that the days of creation might not be literal, but thousands of years long?
Answer: 2 Peter 3:89 reads:
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance
What was the school and who was the teacher? How do you this wasnt just a Sunday School class where they have every right to teach that ?
They would have every right to teach that?
Would a Sunday School have every right to teach that all Rightwingers were evil and anti-American, and hammer that into them every week?
OMG. Did freedom of religion bit the dust. So soon?
As to your second question one name comes to mind.........Jeremiah Wright.
My oh my......our nutters have suddenly discovered a desire for substantiated claims. How interesting!
It's obviously not from a public school. It's from a private, "faith-based" school or charter school, using taxpayer money to promote this crap and warp our childrens' minds.Wait! You liberals say you love science and you claim we think science is bull shit. I say this test is bull shit taught by a bull shit teacher so I must hate science then.

Science proposes this juxtaposition; an embryo is not a life when it's aborted yet it is a life when it's implanted during in vitro fertilization.
That doesn’t give Christian fundamentalists license to try to pass off myth and superstition as ‘facts.’
And however ‘abhorrent’ some Christians may find it, it is a fact that dinosaurs were gone 60 million years before the advent of the first hominids, and that the Earth is indeed billions of years old.

The nutball grip on the Bible is hilariously feeble.
In early-mid 1950s Bible school along a dirt road in Appalachia the dumbest fucking kid there to get out of making hay learned that God's day is as a thousand years but the nutball creationist clownshow takes the literal view (as almost all undeveloped minds do) and deems the earth to be a few thousand years old.
Other humorous examples of nutball malapropaganda include... The Bible doesn't contain a word against voluntary abortion and only prescribes small fines for accidentally inducing an abortion in the wife of another. The Bible is clear and specific that life begins with the "quickening" or first breath.
To cut to the chase, not only are the lessons crazy, they don't even represent the religion they claim to represent.
Creationism is a lot like Republican Presidential administrations after, say, 1978.

For all we know, it's made-up bullshit.
Prove it's genuine. Then explain why the taxpayers should care.
