Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear
bright, until you hear them speak.
Yeah, they have a list of valid concerns. Its a good listing of the errors in allowing it to become mainstream.
De omnibus dubitandum
Didn't Tony Blair (remember him?) defend the setting up of a school teaching creationism on the usual weaselly grounds of "diversity"? We're constantly told this country isn't turning out enough science-educated people. The universities must know about these schools. Would a university want to accept someone to read for a geology degree if they knew that person was educated at a school which taught the world is a few thousand years old, and geology is a lie?
Actually, of course, the world was made by Slartibartfast.
TB said he'd be concerned about creationism if it were to become believed by the majority, but then he needed religious businessmen to bankroll his "academies."
"I'm putting on me top hat,
Lah-di-dah me new shoes,
Standing on me tail"
Ah, this Tony Blair? From the far too recent Benightedment?

' One senior member of staff explained that "a Christian teacher of biology will not or should not regard the theory of evolution as axiomatic, but will oppose it." Blair is determined to build more 'faith-based schools', of course, and the news strengthened the misgivings of those who suspect that such academies proselytise rather than educate.
He had his chance to allay their fears in the House of Commons on 13 March last year, when Jenny Tonge MP asked if the prime minister was "happy to allow the teaching of creationism alongside Darwin's theory of evolution in state schools." A simple 'no' was surely the only possible answer; but it was not the answer he gave. Blair told Jenny Tonge that the creationists at Emmanuel College were doing a splendid job. "In the end," he said, "a more diverse school system will deliver better results for our children."
A few Labour backbenchers gawped in amazement as the significance of his remark sank in. Here was the leader of a supposedly secular, progressive government who, on being invited to assert that probable truth is preferable to palpable falsehood, pointedly refused to seize the opportunity —and indeed justified the teaching of bad science in the name of "diversity".'
The style as we like is the humdrum.
What a great document. Every policy maker in the world should be presented with something similar.
People talk about human rights.
Shouldn't children have the right to learn the truth.
Let them choose to be creationists when they are old enough to decide for themselves, knowing all the facts.
Creationism is the thin edge of the wedge. Those who have the power to affect change can allow no appeasement.
Worst signature ever.
