Two creationism stories today, both of them sad.
In Tennessee, there is a Sunday School-teaching dad who is POd because his son’s high school biology text accurately refers to Creationism as a ‘myth.’ He’d like the book banned, and FOX News invited him on to speak his piece just as if he were, you know, an educated adult with a legitimate point of view.
The father of a Knox County public school student wants the school board to get rid of a high school biology textbook that he calls biased against Christians.
The board was scheduled this evening to consider Kurt Zimmerman’s appeal of a review panel’s finding in favor of the book.
Search our databases. The Knoxville News Sentinel reported Zimmerman wants a change of textbooks because the honors biology course book used at Farragut High School describes creationism as a “biblical myth.” He is asking that what he termed non-biased textbooks be used.
A second case concerns an Old Testament scholar at Reformed Theological Seminary who — GASP!! — endorses evolution and, worse, says Christianity is going to go the way of the dodo if theologians don’t quit trying to evade reality.
So, lest the minds of their students be soiled with unspeakable impurities (facts are like that), the Seminary fired him.
The irony is that there is no longer any educated dispute — none — that Genesis is a pastiche of older Mesopotamian tales, and that there are pagan fingerprints all over the text. These guys know they’re lying when they carry-on about inerrancy.
