This BBC article highlights once again the battle for the hearts and minds of our children in the UK. (Oh and continues the BBC’s heavy bias to the liberal humanist agenda when it comes to it journalism).
A quote from the article lays it all out pretty plainly:
The British Humanist Association (BHA) had led a campaign to have Darwin's theory of how life evolved through natural selection made a compulsory element of the new primary curriculum.
It organised a public letter signed by more than 500 from scientists and supporters.
Andrew Copson of the BHA said: "This is excellent news. Evolution is arguably the most important concept underlying the life sciences.
"Providing children with an understanding of it an early age will help lay the foundations for a surer scientific understanding later on."
He added: "Public authorities clearly need to do more to tackle the growing threat to the public's understanding of science from creationist-inspired beliefs and other pseudoscience".
Firstly Macro-Evolution/Darwinian Evolution (goo to you evolution) has nothing, nada, zero to do with life sciences like any form medical research or any of the sciences that look at actual facts and follow the scientific method of observable falsifiable results. The kind of science that brings us medical drugs breakthroughs, micro chips etc… However this is one of those little lies that Evolutionist would have you believe to make them sound more important and set up their pathetic straw man arguments. This is shown in the last sentence of the article above. Where they try to scare monger people into believing that if we let these dangerous people run around and challenge Darwinian Evolution then the whole of civilisation as we know it will collapse and we’ll be dragged back to the Dark ages. Nonsense of course, they know it, any half intelligent person knows it but they keep spouting this rubbish out. Old Dawkins being the chief of the straw man scare mongering nonsense.
All this will do is add more pressure to already over stretched and underpaid teachers. Teaching something that has frankly zero importance to understanding operational science like Physics and Chemistry and a lot of Biology. All based on observable, measurable and reproducible science. Unlike any study of the past, both Evolution and Creation included. Both study the evidence and come to conclusions based on assumptions that cannot be tested and reproduced using the scientific method.
Trust me I am all for children understanding science as I think the science education in this country is frankly poor at both Secondary and Primary given the number of students entering University to study science based subjects. Children are not excited by the wonders of studying the world around them in any of the sciences enough to want to be the scientists of the future. I am not against the teaching of evolution when it comes to Micro-Evolution either. Yes things change, adapt and ‘evolve’ but not in the scope that Darwinian evolution would have you believe. Evolution within kind is observable and useful in science and is perfectly biblical from a Creationist point of view. Another lie the Humanist would have you believe is that Creationist don’t believe in Evolution. We do, just not the same way. In fact a Creationist discovered the idea of adaptation within species before Darwin did. But this terrifying fear of anyone questioning Macro-Evolutionary theory and pointing out the huge gaping holes in it is ridiculous and pathetic. Understandable though because the alternative is too terrible for an Evolutionist/Atheist to cope with, ie: God.
However teaching Children macro-evolution will achieve nothing except teach them that they have no purpose in existence and no hope for the future (see video at the bottom of this post). That moral relativism is all we can hope for and there is no true absolute definition of right and wrong. No wonder child suicide rates are up and depression is the modern epidemic. Take away hope and all you have is denial or despair.
I leave this article with some scripture:
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”
20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and l the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1:18-25)
and:
For the wrath of God l is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honour him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonouring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
(Romans 1:18-25)
Do we want to raise another generation of ‘foolish thinkers’ blinded by human arrogance? Ultimately this is just another battleground being fought between atheism and faith. Humanist would have all traces of teaching any religion and faith from schools wiped away if they could. Don’t be fooled this is not about fairness or balance. This is about the absolute oppression and suppression of free thought and religious expression in this country and around the world. Any way I’ll leave it there.
Here is a short video talking about where atheism leads, by Mark Driscoll.
