Fabs, that’s exactly my issue. Should young children be taught what you call mainstream scientific theory, when actually this theory is very different than what the scientists swore in our courts was truth back in the 1920s. If that wasn’t truth, how do we know this is? Even “facts” of evolution less old than I am have been “refined” until they mean something other than they originally did. That’s not science, that’s trying to prove a fact exists. Gravity unquestionably existed, before the theory, before Higgs boson particle. Those were only explainations of an observable event. Evolution however isn’t itself an unarguable theory, explainations are even farther afield. Bill Nye says only Americans doubt evolution. Notice I have no where argued Biblical evolution per se, only that a Creator created. And again, my point was others besides us, (thanks Saladeen) believe, and are we really ruining our children by teaching them that evolution might not be right?
I think I understand the link between 1984 and this. Facts are being controlled and manipulated for personal reasons. As God has disappeared in my country, the Law has usurped our government. Can’t happen without atheism, atheism won’t happen without undermining scripture, evolution undermines the very basis of scripture. The only real point Darwin was determined to “prove” was that there is no god. The “theory of evolution” has changed far more than the story of Creation, and additional “facts” which contradict previous evolutionist theory, seem to make scriptural accounts less wrong than the theory of evolution was before they yet again changed it to suit the facts.
I don’t believe my beliefs are in danger, if they are wrong they aren’t worth having. I think your belief relies on an obsolete explanation of Time to make it work. Evolution is the “theory” that must keep changing. It’s not that they add detail to what’s known, they rewrite what’s “known” to suit what they now know. I am saddened that you have bought into a theory whose last factual rewriting was less than 10 years ago. But you’re an adult and can choose for yourself. Children are not so, and teaching them facts in motion is irresponsible. My opinion only.
Remember what Sherlock Holmes said about eliminating everything that wasn’t true and whatever is left is true. I suspect when Evolution has run out of reasonable conclusions to jump to when the previous conclusions were disproven, however unreasonable, will be Creation. That the plants and animals of this planet began here in adult form.
For clarities sake, I do believe the Genesis account of Creation, but any creator renders the unique parts of evolution invalid, as the reverse does to the idea of creator.
