SCHOOLS WARNED AGAINST CREATIONISM, according to the Independent
(UK) 11 October 2012. The National Secular Society (NSS) in the UK have issued a
report named Evangelism in State Schools, which calls on the government to
introduce stricter guidelines to prevent evangelical Christian groups from
“proselytising” during Religious Education (RE) lessons. The report is
particularly concerned that visiting Christian RE teachers might “push
creationism and their own brand of sex education”. According to the report: “The
low priority given to RE and collective worship in many schools, combined with
the short supply of qualified RE teachers and general pressure to provide
sufficient teaching hours provides an ideal environment for evangelical groups
to exploit”.
Just how much MORE influence does the NSS want, I wonder?
I always worry when one group tries to gag or silence another. It usually means that they are desperately worried that the deficiencies in their arguments are about to be exposed.
What I want to see is a John Mackay or a Ken Ham invited to a full and fair televised debate against leading evolutionary scientists - but these will 'do a runner' as they always have - using the pathetic excuses which are regularly trotted out:
Oxygen of publicity.
Evolution is proven so why debate?
A debate would legitimise creationism etc, etc.
The actual problem is that they have lost too many such debates in the past and dare not do so again in front of an audience of millions rather than hundreds!
Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
