[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]I know few Christians who claim to understand the complexity of the Universe. However, they do believe that a loving Creator would give us a sufficient level of knowledge to at least know which way to go. Now, does believing that you have the truth (or at least the most important essentials of the truth) mean that you should persecute, forcibly convert, or kill those who don't believe it? Unfortunately, many have believed that through the ages, but it's not an idea that was ever taught by Jesus or his apostles.[/QUOTE]So what does the Bible say about teaching creationism in schools and banning actual science? I'm curious because I know in the US there seams to be a growing movement (again) to ban Darwin from the classroom. A few year back I think some school governors over here in the UK (who just happened to be member of the local church group) tried something similar and were rather quickly told to bugger off. This sort of thing smacks to me thought control (or at least thought restriction) and quite worrying when it's happening in what is supposedly the greatest free nation on Earth. I remember back in school we used to get one assembly a week from the local Padre and he used to say something that sums it up pretty well. Anyone who reads the bible literally, needs their head examined. He said he was quoting some bishop, but I can't back that up. Part of why I don't trust the Bible as a document for settling arguments is that, as you can see in some of the above posts you can usually find a quote to support almost any argument. Moses had the right idea when he rendered it all down to just two tablets. [/QB][/QUOTE]
