Royal Society and Creationism In Science Classes
An anonymous reader writes "The Reverend Professor Michael Reiss, a biologist and Anglican priest, is the education director for the Royal Society, the venerable British science institution. He recently called for creationism to be discussed in science classes, not just in religion or philosophy classes. Science journals reacted with a world of 'WTF' and the Royal Society backpedaled furiously. Now Nobel laureates are gathering to get him fired: 'The thing the Royal Society does not appreciate is the true nature of the forces arrayed against it and the Enlightenment for which the Royal Society should be the last champion.' The blogs, of course, are loving it."
While you're at it, throw in literary theories into science classes. Astrology should be popular also. Maybe we can get the Scientology people to sponsor that in the science class also.
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
Flamebait, is that a new one or am I too green?
Time for space pants!
nothing new there? there's no where left to hide, & it's becoming more&more clear that EVERYTHING made by man fails.
'The current rate of extinction is around 10 to 100 times the usual background level, and has been elevated above the background level since the Pleistocene. The current extinction rate is more rapid than in any other extinction event in earth history, and 50% of species could be extinct by the end of this century. While the role of humans is unclear in the longer-term extinction pattern, it is clear that factors such as deforestation, habitat destruction, hunting, the introduction of non-native species, pollution and climate change have reduced biodiversity profoundly.'

greed, fear & ego are unprecedented evile's primary weapons. those, along with deception & coercion, helps most of us remain (unwittingly?) dependent on its' life0cidal hired goons' agenda. most of yOUR dwindling resources are being squandered on the 'wars', & continuation of the billionerrors stock markup FraUD/pyramid schemes. nobody ever mentions the real long term costs of those debacles in both life & the notion of prosperity, not to mention the abuse of the consciences of those of us who still have one. see you on the other side of it. the lights are coming up all over now. conspiracy theorists are being vindicated. some might choose a tin umbrella to go with their hats. the fairytail is winding down now. let your conscience be yOUR guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. there are still some choices. if they do not suit you, consider the likely results of continuing to follow the corepirate nazi hypenosys story LIEn, whereas anything of relevance is replaced almost instantly with pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking propaganda or 'celebrity' trivia 'foam'. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on yOUR brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.

is it time to get real yet? A LOT of energy is being squandered in attempts to keep US in the dark. in the end (give or take a few 1000 years), the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the current hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, most of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in. for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it? we're intending for the whoreabully deceptive (they'll do ANYTHING for a bit more monIE/power) felons to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things/events.

what happens when you disprove someone's religion?
What happens when you disprove atheism ? (non-dogmatism, the idea that because all rules are man made, which is true, means that they are negotiable, which is patently false. This is the real ideology of 99,99% of "atheists", and is extremely trivial to disprove (let's negotiate over the rule that killing "EccentricAnomaly" is wrong, after all nothing is inherently wrong, right ?), you could even do it "live" with Godel sentences in extreme cases, but you can do this intuitively).
I assume what will happen when a believer gets confronted with this depends on their ethics, right ? Since all religions push different ethics, let's enumerate.
1. an atheist : will declare you racist and intolerant, alternatively they might try the buddhist approach ... see a chrisian (unless of course he considers you not brahmin, in that case he will use violence directly, esp. if you're considered dalit)
2. a christian : will seek to convince you otherwise with patience "and good deeds" (whatever that means), ignoring any evidence that's inconvenient. They will also seek to build this evidence into the religion, and explain it "in Christian context" (e.g. the pope doesn't deny evolution, he merely states that it does not apply to humans. He does not believe humans are interlocked into an eternal extermination war for resources, and will not accept any evidence to the contrary as "inhumane". He is right in doing so imho (even though I don't agree with many other points)). If you truly don't respond to their attempts to convince you, Christians will shun you.
3. a muslim : will threaten you, then if that fails will physically attack you
4. a buddhist will declare you delusional for assuming that there is a real world in the first place, therefore claiming anything is proof is nonsensical
5. a hindu
