Don’t want to be hassled by creationist teacher?

Give up Buddhism, Louisiana public school

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/01/...ive-up-buddhism-louisiana-public-school-says/

Just more evidence that according to Conservative Christians "Freedom of Religion" means to them "Freedom to choose which denomination of (preferably Protestant) Christianity you want to believe in". Every single teacher in that school who uses their position to push Creationism and Christianity on their students should be fired.

 

Where are all the "Rightie defenders of religious freedom from atheist liberal teachers"?

This report should have made the rounds of all the Rightie propaganda sites about religious ooppression in public schools, but it hasn't, oddly enough.

 

Seriously?

Stupid thread is stupid, and this teacher is stupid as well.

 

Well...she makes a valid point there.

 

You're being sarcastic, I hope. If you aren't you show the same extreme ignorance that this teacher does regarding what the theory of evolution states.

 

What is ignorant about it? It is a valid point. If humans are supposedly evolved from apes, then why are there still apes walking around today?

 

Religion should be taught about in school, but not just one religion, but all of them, I really think it would help with acceptances of other peoples beliefs. This teacher was out of line.

 

The point only further shows the ignorance of the teacher on the subject of evolution. This teacher seems to lack a proper education.

 

What an amazing post! Just think of so much ignorance crammed into so few words!

 

Evolution doesn't mean the original species dies off. HTH

 

(My bold)

The theory isn't that we - people - evolved from apes. The theory is that apes & humans have a common ancestor back when, on a lower branching of the tree of life. There are still apes for the same reason there are still cockroaches, sharks, coelacanths, horseshoe crabs, & on & on. There are many ecological niches, & same of them have apparently remained constant enough that their inhabitants have not had to change v. much or @ all in order to continue to thrive in those slots.

I have the impression that most of these ancient forms are in the oceans, but that's just my impression. There are also ancient plants still about, but I'm more familiar with the critter side.

 

Indeed.

All the more telling is that 90% of Creationists actually think this is a valid argument against evolution.

 

You really do not understand how evolution works do you?

 

It is not the subject of evolution, but the theory of evolution. And the theory remains just that: a theory. While Darwin had plenty of evidence to support his theory, he always lacked the definitive proof. And still to this day, mankind is searching for that 'missing link' that for all we know, never existed. When liberal scientists still hold on to that Darwinist dream though, it bears a striking resemblance to...faith.

No, and neither do you. Neither did Darwin. It is a theory that he had, that is all. No proof that it is happening whatsoever.

 

Hey paco do you believe in the creation story from Genesis?

 

The theory of evolution is the most well evidenced scientific theory we have. The evidence for it is overwhelming. And yes, I do understand the theory and it's evidences. I suggest you educate yourself on the subject at http://www.talkorigins.org/

 

I'm more of a Big Bang theory guy, myself. Not the TV show, which I don't find all that funny. A Roman Catholic priest out of Belgium came up with it, which is one of the rare instances in human history where a clergyman put religion on the back burner and actually came up with a sound scientific theory. It has its faults though, and I don't 100% believe it, of course.

 

So sad!

I guess all the people dying of antibiotic-resistant bacterial and new strains of flu are simply dying of their imaginations?

And perhaps we should stop counting on the behaviors and implications derived from the of the THEORY of Gravity in our daily lives?

 

I know that, but it is not the empirical one, nor the one that destroys all other theories, so I remain skeptical of it. There is still the lack of definitive evidence that proves that theory correct. There are theories out there that support the idea that the Earth was colonized by space aliens or "annunaki", that lend as much credence to human origin as any other wacky theory that Darwin came up with. I don't think any true scientist should adopt one theory while sh*tcanning all of the rest, that's just closed-minded and science bullying.

 

Stupid teacher, but let's not pretend that this doesn't happen with Atheist teachers. Some Atheist teachers have ridiculed religion, just as some Theist teachers have ridiculed atheism. Both sides are idiotic, but you're guilty of double standard if you condemn one while ignoring the other.

 

You can't equate the theory of evolution to the theory of gravity though. You can definitely question whether evolution is truly happening because of the lack of definitive evidence to truly support it. However, if you want to test the theory of gravity, then by all means fall back in your computer chair to the floor and see if that provides enough proof that gravity exists. Go on now!

 

Which Christian hating liberal school teachers are doing this?

 

Thank 'god' the Leninists are all over this issue trying to completely expunge any vestiges of religion from what is left of 'moral' teaching in schools.

(Because what the world really needs is a repeat of the Marxist mistakes in Russia.)

the school and that teacher is very wrong for these actions, there is no defending this kind of stupidity. i dont have a lot of respect for those who try to shove their views down peoples throats in such ways, whether they be people of religion or atheist types.

they do in their own special way, there are lunatics in every walk of life.

 

Good to see the stupid arguments used against reality actually occur in real life opposed to just the internet.

Hopefully the school is brought to it's knees and realizes that religion is for church, and not the classroom.

No.
