A victory for the home team, hopefully.The move follows a campaign earlier this year by the Society for Textbook Revise (STR), which argued that details about the evolution of the horse and of the avian ancestor Archaeopteryx should be removed from the books (see ‘South Korea surrenders to creationist demands’).
The STR, an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research, says that students should learn “various” theories about the development of life on Earth. It argued that the textbooks used flawed examples of evolution that are under debate by evolutionary scientists.

Nature News is reporting that the South Korean government has gone on the offensive, urging textbook makers to ignore requests to remove information on evolution from high school textbooks. Soo Bin Park writes:

If pastors, priests. rabbis, and "so called" Christians would stop their false (old Earth) and foolish (young Earth) teachings, and start promoting the truth of Genesis (Observations of Moses), then there would hardly be any room for the ridiculous teaching of evolution.
ReplyDeleteCollectively, Bible believers are so "blind", that their approach to Genesis is a joke. Instead of seeking the truth, they continue to support the current lies and foolishness of Creationism. Genesis does not have any
"Creation accounts". When you keep telling a person that their car is running out of gas, and they refuse to look at the fuel gauge and go to the gas station, you begin to wonder how "dumb" they are.
Perhaps they are just like the Jews, who value tradition over the truth of scripture.
Is it strange that Atheists want the cram their false beliefs down everyone else's throats, without allowing a (valid) opposing view to be shown?

ReplyDeleteHow are old earth views false?
Herman,
ReplyDeleteSince you think that "Genesis does not have any 'Creation accounts.'", why do you think (or care) that old earth teachings are "false" and why do you think that evolution is "ridiculous".
If Genesis is not about creation, then how do these view conflict with your beliefs?
