plaetton: And by the way, pope John Paul ll, then pontiff of the mother church, endorsed the theory of evolution as far back as 1996. I guess that's when church science caught up with mainstream science.

What do you expect from a bunch of Ret@rds that once thought that the Earth was the center of the Universe.

Wrong. Rather he redefined Creation and limited creation to the Soul alone.


"Although generally accepting the theory of evolution, John Paul II made one major exception – the human soul. "If the human body has its origin in living material which pre-exists it, the spiritual soul is immediately created by God"

Ignorance displayed at its finest. Prior to Copernicus' Heliocentric Model which was authenticated by Galileo himself. The World/catholic world Claimed the Earth was the Center of the Universe, rather than the Sun.

That isn't what the theory is supposed to explain. By that same line of reasoning, one can say the theory of plate tectonics is false because it doesn't tell us how the earth itself came into existence.

Van, the above on pope johnpaul has been passed through tinted lens, the pope never said evolution was a fact, he said in 1950 pope puis talked about evolution as hypothesis but at present recent study has showed it is more than an hypothesis I.e a theory

Ubenedictus: i believe science should be taught in science class and religion in religion class. If biblical approach to dinosaurs was a science topic then i think there is a poblem, if not then what are the complains about, let the religious people give their approach to dinosaurs.
To the question of what catholicism teach, we teach God created the universe, these and like principles are doctrinal with a lot of room for the posibilities, so theistic evolution may be valid for a catholic. On the otherhand raw evolution is taught in science classes in catholic school.

The bolded is exactly what OP was complaining about. They want to teach their crazy religious stories in schools as science. They want totell children that god created the world in 6 literal days. They want to teach children that Noah's flood actually happened and that was what killed the dinosaurs a mere 4000 years ago. They demand that this nonsense should be taught in place of real science, or at least given equal status in classrooms and textbooks.

Christian fundamentalists in america and elsewhere have created a whole cottage industry out of trying to rationalize christianstories, myths and fables. They have creation "science" museums. They have christian textbooks so that children who are unfortunate enough to be home schooled by fundamentalist parents never have to read a real science book. And there is a huge legal campaign aimed at smuggling creationism and its twin brother intelligent design into science classes.

But don't take my word for it, go over to [url=conservapedia.com/Dinosaur]Conservapedia.com[/url] and experience the madness yourself.

Dear bros,
When I was much younger, there were a lot of scientific notions that I fought against simply because my young immature mind could barely understand them.
It is obvious that ijawkid and others like him are stuck , permanently, in that phase of mental development.
Just see how viciously he is fighting ideas that his religiously barrickaded brain cannot grasp.

You have become silly again....just when you were seeing the light.


You wouldnt let a parent molest his or her child.

Why would you then let a parent teach his or her children rubbish presented as facts to the detriment of their learning?


Both are cases of child abuse.

But no, the psychopath Uyi Iredia feels that the only problem here is atheists and not the christians who abuse children's minds with nonsense like "a biblical approach to dinosaurs"........keep religion out of science class please!

atheism has become a religion..
any time you have a group of people who use the opinions
of others as a means to dictate their own lives you have chaos.

most "atheists" are so because they need some reason to argue. It's always a thrill
to play the "us against them" game.

myself i am a proud theist, but anti-religion.
i am this way because of my OWN experience and nothing more.

Hallo Atheist,

Do you honestly think that every animal should be mentioned in the bible?

Hello striklymi,

At first many Christians denied dinosaurs, just as they deny evolution and once denied the age of the earth. Somne still deny all 3.

But to answer your question no. It does not have to be mentioned in the bible.

Logicboy03:
"a biblical approach to dinosaurs"........k



This is hilariously scary. A biblical approach to dinosaurs? How can there be one when they were never mentioned in the bible shocked. No one knew they existed until archaeologists started finding their fossils. So how can there be a biblical approach.

That teacher who taught that rubbish above should be banned from teaching for life. Science is science and should never be compromised for religion or any philosophical views. It must remain unbiased.

Evening boss,

Okay, cool!

I don't know if there is anyone who denies that dinosaurs once walked the face of the Earth...the evidence is too glaring.

Though I accept every bit of the theory of evolution that is backed by scientific evidence but c'mon man, you know that not everything about evolution is factual...

As it stands, some individuals have garnished the facts with what they think and hence I won't be surprised if some Christians reject it based on this...

Specifically what parts of the theory do you think are not factual? Or is it that you accept the theory, but object to its inevitable conclusions?

[quote author=tobechi20]
Atheists have actively opposed any effort in public schools to even question a belief of evolution or suggest there are any problems w






A friend of one of the parents who has a child enrolled in the fourth grade class posted the quiz sheets on the internet. The parent, like all parents who have children enrolled at this academy, had signed a statement, which acknowledged an understanding that sending their child to this Christian school would mean they would be taught biblical Christianity. The parent expressed dismay that his daughter was taught a biblical approach to dinosaurs. The quiz’s posting to the internet resulted in a number of atheist websites reposting the questions and answers, and many of them responded in
rage and vehement attacks on the school.

The school administrator, relatively new as the head of the academy, was shocked to find her school becoming the target of atheist attacks and even some threats. Articles on mainstream websites (like a Seattle TV station over 2,500 miles away), a UK website, and other places on the internet made the controversy grow even larger.

Now, this Christian academy is not a large school. Yet the atheists went after it with[b] incredible fervor.[/b] The school administrator informed us she knew that the school would be involved in a spiritual battle after the quiz went public, but she was not expecting such ferocity. She told us she was shocked at the level of hate [/b]that the atheists poured down upon her, the teacher, and the school in general.

For the next two years, our special theme for the Answers in Genesis ministry is “Standing our Ground, Rescuing our Kids” (Galatians 1:4). We, too, have experienced recent increased attacks by atheists, especially whenever they discover we are influencing children with the truth of God’s Word. These anti-God people hate the fact that Christians are teaching children to stand on the authority of the Bible; they want to be the ones teaching children and indoctrinating them into atheism. Even children’s TV host Bill Nye has recently made many harsh statements against those of us who teach creation to children.

In a way, what is happening to this Christian school and also to the Romeike family should be a warning to all Christians: the atheists want your children.
[b]
They are aggressively trying to demonize and marginalize Christians
in their attempts to recruit your children for atheism or secularism.

Though we praise God for the minority of Christian “missionaries” who work as teachers in the public school system (and who need our prayers), government schools have increasingly become, in essence, churches of atheism. We are aware that the overwhelming majority of children raised in the church attend public schools, and thus it should not be surprising that with all the secularist indoctrination in schools, about two-thirds of our young people brought up in church are walking away from it by the time they reach college age. (See the book Already Gone for details.)

As we wrote yesterday on this website, the growing anti-Christian attacks in America should be a warning to the church that a chasm is widening between what is Christian and what is not. Christians can no longer straddle both sides of the chasm, for it’s getting wider. They will ultimately have to decide which side they will stand on! And if those who are on God’s side stand their ground on His Word without compromise, then they may face persecution of various forms.

More than ever, God’s people need to be standing up publicly and unashamedly for the authority of His Word.

The authors of this web article have been highly impressed with the spiritual quality of this school, the administrator, and the teacher involved as they have had to cope with some very vicious attacks.1 We were encouraged to read on the school’s website that the Academy believes, “God’s truth is authoritative and is the foundation for all living and learning in order to develop a biblical worldview, while both understanding the culture in which they live and being ready to confidently defend their faith.”
