meh, weve had other faith schools for years, why the need now for this article?
People are free to believe what ever they want. the fact that the evolution is just a theory not scientific fact leads it into multiple levels of interpretation.

There is no such thing as 'scientific fact', but that does not make it any less true.
The theory of evolution is about as well proven as that of the 'theory' of gravity or the 'theory' that the earth rotates around the sun (Heliocentrism)

Pretty much all creationists in this country believe in evolution.

The fact or theory?

Can you define what YOU mean by creationism please before I answer that.

Stop dodging the question. From seeing your other posts in other threads it's blatantly obvious you're part of the God squad.

For you? No, I can't be bothered. Do you think the schools mentioned in the OP are providing an educational experience suitable for children?

Here is something people might find interesting

One does not simply 'believe' in evolution, it's true whether you belive it or not. Much in the same way as i can't just not belive in electricity or something.

Well either "God" created humans or we evolved. They conflict, you can't have both.

They don't conflict.

Elaborate.

I'm not dodging any question.

Unfortunately lots of people seem to have a different understanding of what the word means. It wouldn't be rational for me to answer a question that wasn't clear.

Hasn't this been going on in Catholic schools forever?

I have done on plenty of times. You don't seem to have had the interest to read before as your mind is closed.

Thanks for the intelligent one word response though.

You were asked to say whether or not you believed in creationism. You fobbed the question off so you didn't have to answer by having someone try and define what it is. Since you clearly seem to know so much about creationism, maybe you would like to elaborate more on it all instead of dodging the questions. Teach us, oh knowledgable one.

Where?

My mind is open, provide me a plausible hypothesis that can be tested and proven and I will believe it. Hint: "God did it" is not an acceptable response.

[FnG]magnolia · 22 Jul 2012 at 11:38

You might want to tone it down a touch there

e : I was talking to OhEsEcks. spudbynight, WTH?

The question was whether a belief that God created the Universe conflicts with the theory of evolution. You seem to have missed this in asking me to prove something.

No, that is just your house.

You're not responding as to why creationism and science don't conflict YOU HAVE NOT ELABORATED.

You pop up in religious threads all the time, spout some nonsense and then scram when the questions get too tough, or you retreat into dogma. Like every other religious person. Or result to personal attacks.

Please can we move away from childish name calling and have some intelligent debate?

I have the GP to watch - I don't expect anything close to intelligent debate on this topic here.
