    What should schools teach?

    But creationists are trying to get their ideas taught in science classes as a valid alternative to evolution, making it very much a subject for discussion in the classroom. You only need to look at Answers In Genesis or the Discovery Institute to see their motives. If they were content to keep...

    What should schools teach?

    I don't think challenging anti-evolutionist views is nonsense. We pay tax dollars (well, pounds, in my case) to educate children. Allowing them to consider different views is part of education. I don't think Smoke (or myself, who voted for the same statement in the poll) is advocating teaching...

    What should schools teach?

    I agree.

    What should schools teach?

    Okay. Perhaps 'debunk' was the wrong word to use. How about 'critically examine' that belief, based on evidence (or lack of).

    What should schools teach?

    No, those topics shouldn't be taught as such. Rather, they should be discussed as alternative views once held. I feel the same applies to creationism. It shouldn't be taught as a fact or even as a valid alternative to ToE, but it should be discussed, allowing pupils to acknowledge that some...

    What should schools teach?

    I voted for "Public schools should teach evolution in science class but can discuss creationism there as a belief". Creationism is a view held by many, and the only way to debunk it is to present the evidence for evolution alongside it and challenge creationists to refute it.

    God Fearing

    Okay, so now that humanity is saved, should we still fear god?

    Experimental Creationism

    Evolution, like other sciences, can be seen to be predictive. ID should be subject to the same scrutiny: what, in terms of the natural world, can be predicted by ID? Can anything within the natural order be predicted in terms of ID that couldn't be predicted by evolution?

    Experimental Creationism

    Well, if irreducible complexity was shown to be a valid hypothesis, I suppose we may have to look at the limitations of evolution. Of course, the notion of irreducible complexity could be: a) nonsense b) due to our human lack of fully understanding how complex processes arise and occur. I...

    Noah's Ark

    Sorry, I assumed that you thought that the flood story was to be read literally. There is another thread on this forum in which christians are defending the flood story as literal, and I thought that this thread followed the same line. If you believe that the flood story is symbolic, then fair...

    Good to have you back on board, Senedjem. I know you were only gone for a short while, but I can understand your need to take a break. These boards get frustrating after a while!

    'Look, sir, Druids!'

    The number 3 does feature in Druidry. They use a symbol (the Awen) which represents earth, sea and land / love, wisdom and truth / mind, body and spirit. Other interpretations of the number exist. Awen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Dawkins on the faith School menace

    I agree. Isn't it odd that in a physics class they can learn about the surface tension of water, yet in another class, learn that a human walked on water 2000 years ago... Religion should be kept out of schools for the simple reason that there are other places where they are free to learn this...

    Richard Dawkins Faith School Menace question.

    Hi Silence. There's a thread currently going on this topic. You may get some answers there. Welcome, by the way!

    Dawkins on the faith School menace

    The approach to science in many faith schools is appalling. In the documantary last night, the Biology teacher at a Muslim school seemed to struggle with the basics of ToE in response to Dawkins' questions. The old chestnut of 'I don't believe we are descended from chimpanzees' was trotted out.

    I kill kittens.

    Revoltingest Okay, I can see your situation more clearly. If the pound has no more space, then, yes, the animals will be killed anyway. Having said that, I'm sure someone would have taken them in if you advertised free kittens. Regarding growing up on a farm, I think that may allow some to...

    I kill kittens.

    Do you have a local animal pound that you could have taken them to?
