Remind me never to visit South Bend, IN. They put something in the water there to make you stupid:
Teachers and administration are destroying the essence of education by limiting science in pre-selected categories. It is a given that any physical study in science incorporates as well the study of the God Who created that science. All of the laws that people attribute to “nature” were designed by God.
Studying the emergence of life on the earth, while trying to strain out the divine reasoning behind it all, is like studying mathematics while trying to deny that there is a number system, or studying civics while saying that there is no such thing as government.
The very meaning of science is to examine ALL of the evidence before making any conclusion. To eliminate the scientific proof of creation is to cripple the teacher and the student in understanding its operation, and therefore all future scientific investigation is automatically deemed flawed and useless. Any thinking student would be moved to proclaim, “What are you afraid that I will find out ?”
It is no wonder that public school systems are fast losing students to Christian schools and home schooling, where true education can thrive without subjugation by humanistic dogma. This is no religion-free curriculum; it is just a vehicle where the religion of atheism can undermine the religion of the Bible without the fear of being overcome by truth.

This one is so bad, it really does deserve a full-bore fisking. I don’t have the time (or the heart) but let me just point out that science is by definition limited. It is limited to studying the physical universe and only proposing hypotheses that don’t involve magical thinking. By invoking “the God Who created that science,” you’re no longer doing science. A rose by any other name is unidirectional. Calling a pile of steaming dog crap a rose does not make it smell any better.

But he’s a pastor. He’s just doing his job. He’s got to make a living too, Daryl. 🙂 Nance |

In my homeschool, true education thrives on humanist “dogma” (hee hee — writing that makes me laugh the laugh of oxymoronic glee). Also, in my homeschool the “religion” of atheism (hee hee again) continuously undermines the religion of the Bible by going full-bore at the truth. I’m just such a wicked little girl. 😀 |

Calling speculation about the origins of human consciousness “empirical science” will not make it any more than a steaming pile of dog crap. |

Dave, Evolution has nothing to say about the origins of consciousness. Just because creationism is a bunch of horse shit doesn’t mean you get to define what evolutionary science is. |

OK, the evolution of humans from animals is horseshit. Just because you can smell the shit doesn’t mean you know where it came from. |

Wow! You really believe the Genesis 1 fairy tale? How quaint. |
