    UK Bans Teaching Creationism in State-Funded Schools Read

    I think it is funny . Someone said something about dirt not turning into brains. Lol lol lol because I have taken anatomy courses which is a science.. and our bodies are made up if the same elements of dirt. Actually the exact same elements. Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. . . These are also the major elements in dirt. What a coincidence.

                  Kidding aside, science is about finding the most precise theory, based on facts in order to help the future, which the Bible wasn't able to do for, well, about 2000 years.

                      because shoving reality down peoples throats is going to stop them from actively searching out fantasies

                          Sick but yet they can teach evaluation Which has no scientific backing as well. They are both just theory s if you want to look at it from a "scientific" point of veiw.

                              Pseudo Enigma hit the nail on the head with "shoving reality down peoples throats."

                              It's important that people see why creationism is wrong, not just accept that it is.

                              Otherwise, they won't actually be understanding anything. They'll have the "correct" views, but they can't say why, so their thought processes will be just as poor as before and they'll be able to seek out equally ridiculous substitutes without applying the principles that would lead you to understand why those substitutes are wrong.

                                  creationism isn't banned from being talked about, it's simply banned from being presented as a valid alternative to evolution

                                      I was under the impression that you already couldn't really teach it.

                                      I mean, you can't teach something that isn't science in the science classroom? Holy shit mind blown.

                                      I don't know enough about what things are like in the deep south, but my guess would be that this would only be a substantial problem in those areas. Creationism as something that you seriously have to waste time and neurons disproving is so 10 years ago.

                                              I saw this in another chat room and when I got it after like 30 seconds, everyone was whining "that's not math" and praising me as a god. After some discussion about how I'd see it in a book of puzzles, a deeper thought hit me: It's not math. It's something much deeper: Critical thinking. That's how Asians are so far ahead.

                                              The poser if anyone wants to see it:

                                              The answer is 87. The numbers are upside down.
