Interesting essay on the creationist's offensive in the US : http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/11/21/5376/Some excerpts for the lazies who won't read the entire article ::)[b]"Basically, if the scientist says “we don’t know,” the advocates for intelligent design declare that God is responsible.""Some weeks ago Osama bin Laden preached that the American people should all convert to Islam. Bill O’Reilly preached First Amendment rights with regard to teaching creationism in the classroom. The Earth must be flat indeed.""How does this “separation of church and state” idea work ? What does it really mean to our liberty ? What does it mean for our students ? School curricula must be focused on the world, how it works and does not work. [u]Students should be practicing how to solve problems. And they must learn to debate the issues. But to do so, they require an education based on a solid foundation of facts[/u]."[/b]//en.yabiladi.com/topics/creationism-offensive-44-2217173-2217173.html#msg-2217173 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 21:26:08 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
