UK Government Mandates the Teaching of Evolution As Scientific Fact
An anonymous reader writes "A story at the BBC explains how the UK government has put an extra clause into a funding bill to ensure that any new 'free schools' (independent schools run by groups of parents or organizations, but publicly-funded) must teach evolution rather than creationism or potentially lose their funding. 'The new rules state that from 2013, all free schools in England must teach evolution as a 'comprehensive and coherent scientific theory.' The move follows scientists's concerns that free schools run by creationists might avoid teaching evolution. Sir Paul Nurse, president of the Royal Society, said it was 'delighted.' Sir Paul told BBC News the previous rules on free schools and the teaching of evolution versus creationism had been 'not tight enough.'"
You then are an idiot and should probably get a good understanding of "The Noble Lie" that Socrates discussed, Plato wrote about, countless Philosophers and Governments have expanded on and abused, and one can observe every day. You are lied to every day by Media and Politicians, most of it is fairy tales that make you support genocide and killing of humans.
Your post displays that are as gullible as they come, you show as much in your words. A complete lack of understanding for how the world is really working. Did it ever dawn on you that pushing atheism is an agenda? Probably not, welcome to being manipulated.
To be quite honest, I'm not advocating any religion. What I'm telling you is that atheism is the same as any other religion, used as a manipulation technique. It's ramifications are much worse than most religions teach for society. And spare me the nonsense of "so and so advocates killing", since showing me that you are more brainwashed will not help your cause.
I'm sure you will defend your beliefs, just like a Christian or Jew or Muslim will defend theirs. I'm sure you believe that your belief is better, and will never see it for what it really is.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
There is no such thing as fundamentalist atheism.
Atheism is devoid of faith.
Atheism is devoid of the inherent evil of religion.
Your attempt was not well formed.
Your argument is over semantics. Obviously there are different degrees and different types of abuse, just like there are different degrees and types of injury ranging from a paper cut to death. That doesn't make the word any less applicable.
