watch and athiest stumble and bumble when asked 1 simple question. “Where did it come from?” Follow up with, “Where did that come from?” These people that write this kind of bologna are deluded.

He and all others who believe in God and the Bible, will be the first taken to the work camps. I, for one, do not intend to “go quietly.”

Was in the news that a picture of who is thought to be the apostle Paul was found in some cave on the wall. (I hope I have that right.)Very recent.

Can the end times be prevented? Its beginning to seem like the clock is striking midnight.
You say that like it's a bad thing. Re-read the last chapter.

No matter what you believe on the matter, there is no need for this textbook to say that the Bible is a myth
So true....and I think it shows how much the progressives fear that Darwinism has had so many holes poked in it recently, that they have to attack Christians

I don’t think the people who are complaining understand the definition of the term “myth”, i.e. a traditional story accepted as history; serves to explain the world view of a people. Here is a snippet from the book’s glossary - “Creationism: A religious belief that life was created very recently, as described in the Christian Bible.” Is that inaccurate?

Yes we understand. A myth is a STORY used to explain historical events. IOW the world came to be at some point in history and creation is a STORY used to explain it (fiction).

Have you never heard of a “true story”? You should check your semantic prejudice at the door. And FWIW, you may want to review the definition of “history” as well.

no. 1: Public schools (government schools) teach the kids WHAT to think instrad of HOW to think.
no.2: Communism’s most detested enemy is Christianity.
no. 3: Darwinism, not Christianity is a man made myth.
no.2: Socialism, the precurser to Communism, is suicide.
no.4: Nuff said!

I don't have semantic prejudice. A story to EXPLAIN an actual historical event would not be true story; it would be a parable, allegory, myth etc. A story to relay factual historical information would be a true account. You seem to be the one in need of the definition of the word myth. Main Entry: myth Pronunciation: \ˈmith\ Function: noun Etymology: Greek mythos Date: 1830 1 a : a usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon b : parable, allegory 2 a : a popular belief or tradition that has grown up around something or someone; especially : one embodying the ideals and institutions of a society or segment of society b : an unfounded or false notion 3 : a person or thing having only an imaginary or unverifiable existence 4 : the whole body of myths

And how does that definition conflict with your interpretation or understanding of Christianity?

I believe the Bible is actual history not a story used to explain actual history.
Genesis 2:4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

And you are free to believe that. The point of contention is whether a scientific text should validate your religious beliefs.

I did not ask and I do not want a public school textbook to validate my beliefs. I also do not want the public school to disparage them. That was the whole point, if you read my initial comments on the thread.
If they want to present their scientific evidence for evolution that is one thing. Calling creationism a myth is not scientific inquiry.

No matter what you believe on the matter, there is no need for this textbook to say that the Bible is a myth. Why shouldn't it use the word? In context, it's perfectly accurate.

So are you saying that the Bible is not “a traditional story accepted as history, (which) serves to explain the world view of a people”?
