i seem to remember talking about that back in science classes, or at least it might have been geocentricity

the difference being that i don't think one in ten pupils are being told at home that the world is flat

So if you mad scientists are saying God didn't create the world in 7 days who the hell did?

Of course not. You teach it in other classes they now have such as ...I don't know...world religions, social stuff, divinity it was called in my day or whatever stuff kids get taught. In science classes the getout is easy as evolution is of course like most things a theory, although with a fair amount of evidence. Kids dont get taught enough basic science these days anyhow. I see Stu's point tho, a balance is good, its just a matter of time and dilution. Another point is that science is facts. Not strictly true its based on evidence. Thats said much of this we know know as fact, but not all. Much is still ideas based on best evidence, as is Darwinism.

it's not a theory by the general definition of the word

it's a scientific theory, which is something very different

Evolution has proof, so should be in the sience curiculum full stop, if the stupid muslims are to dumb to accept that F*** them!!

What are you basing this assumption on, or is it just the one's who believe that Allah created everything?

If this is true surely all Christians are stupid for believing God made everything??

I happen to believe in evolution, with no form of higher being whatsoever but everyone is entitled to their viewpoint and shouldn't be considered stupid or dumb!

Oh come on, no man coulda ever created the world in 7 days, for a start, if he had 7 days off he'd have to mow the lawn, paint the spare room, re-seal the bath, build the extension, take a trip to see the in-laws........... Well, you get the point, so he'd never of had time!!

That's only because proof of the world being round is alot easier to understand.
