Biology: God's Living Creation....excerpt #1

The following is an excerpt from an actual science textbook that thousands of high school kids in private schools are using, including Lexington Christian Academy here in town.

The following is an excerpt from the books preface:

"Life is God's most marvelous and complex creation. Biology: God's Living Creation presents life as God created it and now controls it. Historically, biology was the first major area of assault in the American classroom as evolution permeated the schools in the 1920's. Even today, evolutionism poisons biology textbooks and distracts from God's glory in creation. High school students need to understand God's living creation from a Biblical perspective, as God created it, and as man has learned of it.

...

Evolution is presented for what it is---a retreat from science. Students and teachers alike will feel more comfortable when they realize that it not biology that is in conflict with Scripture, but rather the ungodly philosophy of some biologists.

Since the day Darwin invaded the classrooms, God's glory has been hidden from students. Now there is an opportunity in the Christian classroom to declare that glory with Biology: God's Living Creation."

Must be time to move biology from science to comparative religions.

Must be time to move education to the field of shoving your head up your ass.

Fundie teachers are so destructive. They are given other people's children and they teach them how to be stupid. Not just ignorant, but stupid as well. They keep the facts from them, and that makes them ignorant. But they also teach them to accept absurd arguments as good ones, and that makes them stupid. And the parents wouldn't have it any other way.

Right, I agree. Fundamentalist religious schools dumb down kids, particularly in the bilogical sciences. Fortunately, few of these students become biologists. Then there's government schools, backed by stolen money and compulsory attendence laws. They dumb kids down, too. Unfortunately, these indoctrinated drones become cannon fodder for politicians, and sometimes even politicians. They learn to narc on their neighbors and love Big Brother.
