F!!!!!!!!!CK'in HELL. This really makes me mad, so absolutely furious. How dare they. And yes I appreciate it is an over-reaction but it is something I am passionate about.

I too thought that they had Div lessons for that type of stuff?

But who designed the designer, suddenly I see an unexplaianble error message flairing up. At what point do you stop thinking for yourself in an attempt to rationalise the world and merely accept that you have to take something on blind faith. At that point would someone please take me outside and hand me my shovel, I'm sure one of the comrades would produce something suitably ballistic.

In its defence I would like to point out that Universities except it as a valid ans in examinations questions on the formation of the earth.

Fine they are pricks pandering to the lowest common denominator and how much money they could make from god botherers. Besides how can science acknowledge un-replicable statements as fact, argh! Drunk, irritated, down and generally pissed the hell off. Back posting soon'ish..

Hrm...in order to understand why Darwinism was such a breakthrough (and so contraversial at the time), you do need to understand the established belief of the time, I would have thought. To us it's not so astounding, because we've grown up with it as an accepted theory.

But then, I'd do that by including several of the 'Punch' cartoons from the period (about inviting grandmother's to dinner, and them being apes and things), and so forth.

However, if you're going to touch on creationism like this, at very least you should also mention Lamarck and his giraffes!

My main objection and realistically the only important one to the entire ID debacle is that I have no problem with it being discussed or considered. Just don’t do it in science, it is firmly and absolutely tethered by its very nature with creationism. It speaks of absolutes, a thing generally the domain of the religious believer. Honestly plonk it in RE or Sociology, but please not in science ( ... )
