The cartoon that will supposedly upset you
July 8, 2014 at 6:16 am
I posted it here because of the humorous absurdity.
Quote:A furor erupted recently at an Atlanta high school after a science instructor showed an illustration from Christian apologist Ken Ham to her students.
Despite the PowerPoint’s seemingly pro-evolution message, many people were concerned by a single slide in the presentation which depicted evolution in a negative light. According to the high school’s student newspaper, the slide included an illustration of two dueling castles—one labeled “Evolution (Satan)” and the other labeled “Creation (Christ).”
Many people were outraged by the cartoon.

Quote:“Although I don’t agree with the cartoon, I also don’t agree with evolution being taught in schools and creationism [being banned],” one commenter argued. “Schools should be allowed to teach both and let the students decide what they want to believe.”
'Murica really needs to stop fucking around with education, too many idiots think creationism should even be given the light of day let alone taught in schools.
Doesn't help when you have muppets showing retarded slide shows with political and religious material in what should be a science class. Pretty sure that's a sackable offence over here.
Oh man, is this really the top comment on that article?
Quote:Funny. Its OK to teach pure "theoretical" nonsense, evolution, but you can't teach creationism. It has been proven time and time again to be nothing but pure junk, but schools teach it as fact everyday. It is helped bring the intelligence of our schools down. Unreal. I praise the science teacher!! Good for her!!
Not sure if trolling or people are actually that fucking retarded.

Yes evolution is totally something you can believe in, kinda like gravity.

Man the comments on that article are a fucking graveyard. People are actually using the line "it's just a theory".

Hey, they gotta start with the babypants bullshit: if they don't get called on it, they don't have to expend too much mental energy on concocting nonsense. They'll get to the derpier shit if someone argues back.

In relation to the article, pretty soon no one will be able to teach anything in American schools. How stupid to American parents think their kids are? Are they really so insecure as to be afraid of a little humour?

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

The first thing that I noticed was that even though the christians outnumber the evolutionists three cannon to one, it is the evolutionists that strike a mighty blow to the christian foundation. Where is your savior now!?

That's only so they can claim persecution.
