There are plenty of us who do not consider the Bible to be fiction. The life of Jesus is well documented in other sources, some aspects being disputed, but his life and existence.
I do not propose that the Bible is taught in school in any way, but I don’t like seeing evolution taught either.
If Evolution is true, which ethnicity is the “least evolved”? And why do species stop at such distinct levels? Why don’t we have partway evolved animals more often, and why don’t I see ANY people that look partially like primates?
It has plenty of holes in it as well, kids need to learn about banking and history, and not through the rose-colored lense that those subjects are taught today.
Even though I’m a Christian, we don’t actually disagree on separation of church and state. I just don’t see how we can justify teaching anything about the origins of man in public schools. It is a subject of major debate, it’s not like gravity or algebra.
The way history is taught in public school is screwed up enough, people need to stop wasting time arguing about stupid subjects like this. We should throw both theories out of the classroom, and spend our energy fixing the lies that are taught in history and some of the other subjects.
Do you really need a lesson on the use of “four corners” and “ends of the earth” and their use in language? Perhaps I was too gentle when referring to your intelligence.
Because verses in the Bible regulate certain aspects of slavery, doesn’t mean it condones it. The Bible did not outline the setting up of the practice of slavery, it merely set certain rules around the practice that already existed.
Kind of like the Constitution of this country…just a long time beforehand. Should we scrap the whole Constitution because it was written at a time when slavery was legal, and black people were only considered 3/5 of a person?
