Muslim scientist says world is flat and the sun revolves around the earth because Quran says so.



This is an example of how giving power to religions to dictate education policy, could retard human progress. Personally I thing even Drich or GC would be shocked at this, it would be funny if he was not so serious. this is one big facepalm.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
