Everyone’s gotta start somewhere. I would prefer a complete separation of Darwinist religion and state, but in the meantime, if they are going to teach evolution, they should also teach the main alternative i.e. Creation/ID.

If this RE law is successful, UK students will soon be discussing the “divine foot in the door” of creation in their *compulsory* religious education classes. To be sure, initially this instruction will be strongly biased in favor of evolution, but this will give students the green light to pursue the subject further on their own, and it’s only a matter of time before Creationists and IDers begin making headway in their quest for equal time. And you can bet, when this happens the Evos will push to either scrap Religious Education, or scrap Creation/Intelligent Design being taught, if they are not doing so already.

Can you imagine what the impact this will have on the public’s perception of Darwin’s fanciful creation myth? Religious Education will, after all, be a compulsory subject. There’s no way the evos let this happen. They will have no choice but to defeat the teaching of Creation/ID/Evolution in Relious Education, or die trying.

Here is the actual paper for those interested in a direct source. How can we answer questions about creation and origins? Learning from religion and science: Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Humanism

The article is pretty inaccurate in regards to its describing the curriculum. For example: The suggested resources include works by atheist Richard Dawkins but do not include any creationist works or websites.

If one looks at the paper, it cites several young earth creationist sources from both Christian and Islamic viewpoints including both the recommendation of the Bible and Quran.

There's your problem. Statism corrupts all.

The hardcore Darwinists on Free Republic are statists who love the Big Government Public School System as much as any out of the closet leftist Democrat.

They both love the Big Government Public School monopoly and the blatant far left indoctrination because it teaches their secular religion as its foundation.

Both recoil at the fact and the reject the founding principle that we are "endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights"
