I think the Department of Education would though if only to make sure everyone gets educated to the same bog standard.They don't have any objection to ID being taught in RS though as it's already appeared on the curriculem.

Re: Creationism vs Evolution, Equal?
 

Yes. Its still a school. Science is considered factual. Just because its a faith school doesnt mean that a theory of your religion should be misrepresented as a science. Just because their parents and teachers believe in it doesnt mean it should be taught as a fact to their kids. In the end isnt it spinning the reality to get them to conform to the religion of someone elses chosing? Regardless of the intentions being good?

Present the science as the science and the religious theory and the theory.

Because it doesn't offend the other half..parents are free to remove their children from RS lessons if it does.It doesn't happen often though because most people of faith appreciate that having a basic knowledge of other peoples faith and culture has the advantage of improving relationships between the differing faiths.Well it would if most students were even remotely interested in RS..The sad reality is most switch off mentally and call it boring.

Surely kids find most of school boring :disturbd:

Technology wouldn't exist without science.You have to have a basic scientific knowledge to develop technology.They go hand in hand.;)

Yep! I swear they only go to school for the social life.:D

Well Darwin certainly didnt have a easy time with Evolution, I think his motive was science and maybe ego but not profit or to be liked.

Re: Creationism vs Evolution, Equal?
 

If God created Man in His own image - rather than human beings being the product of evolution - then how come the human body has various "design flaws"?

Similar thing for other animals... if created by God, rather than being the product of evolution, then why the "design flaws"?

Surely anything designed by God, with a fixed unchanging template, would be perfect?


Personally, I object to Faith Schools full stop.

However, if such schools must exist, they still should not teach Creationism or ID as a science - not in place of evolution, & not even alongside evolution. It's still a faith-based subject, still a matter of faith. Just 'cos a school may be a faith school, does not suddenly turn Creationism into a Science.

Ant that's what gets me about Religion. How can you toss aside the bit's of science that don't agree with your beliefs when science is based on facts. tangible things that can be reproduced?:confused:

This is what I find hard to understand about the whole thing.

Re: Creationism vs Evolution, Equal?
 

Which design flaws?

Usually evolution in animals is based on the changing environment.

The bible states the world in in decay - nothing is as perfect as it was in Eden.

The majority of what you're calling facts I don't have a problem with. But there are some things which you'd likely call 'fact' which I'm not convinced about. Scientists use estimations about the age of the universe for example. This is seen by many as 'fact'. But how can an estimate be fact? I agree it's compelling, but not a fact.

Re: Creationism vs Evolution, Equal?
 

No answer then?


I don't store those posts :disturbd: They are stored on CF, I just did a quick search :D The point I am making is that you choose the option that has no objective proof, no research behind it and reject the one that does. You demand hard proof from science but not from the bible.



A belief isn't point to start a science lesson from.

I store all Rammy's posts, they go onto my ikkle shrine... :D

Appendix, tonsils, to many teeth in our mouths stuff like that for a start

Worshiping false idols or just stalking him :D

Re: Creationism vs Evolution, Equal?
 

The fact that most important organs are duplicated (lungs, kidneys etc), where as the one organ that we really need to live (the heart) doesn't have a duplicate.

Note: I haven't mentioned the brain. While this doesn't have a duplicate, it has enough redundant parts that it can operate (at least on a basic level) with a large part of it damaged.

Does this mean God evolved as well? If we are in his image. j/k
