The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

I agree it should be discussed if a student brings it up. By discussed I mean demonstrated why it's bullshit.
Matt Shizzle has been banned from the Rational Response Squad website. This event shall provide an atmosphere more conducive to social growth. - Majority of the mod team
Actually the story is a bit more complex than nutty christian wants creationism taught in science lessons.
Yes the guy was a christian but he definitely wasnt a creationist (they are still prettty rare for people of any authority in the uk), high level scientists i believe.
He was stupid to start waffling on about respecting students beliefs in school which is wrong but hardly a sackable offence
Yes it is, and I apologize for creating any misunderstanding. As it happens, I'd only read the first couple lines before posting. After reading the whole article, I attempted to return here and modify my post, but I was severely short on time and the computer wasn't refreshing the site or opening windows fast enough, so I had to leave.

Perhaps you could pm a mod with some changes to be made so that you title and op aren't so incorrect? I mean, you're (inadvertently) misrepresenting the teacher and the story.
I don't think the man should have been asked to resign. It does send the wrong message.

Good point. But I don't need a mod. *Fixes*
Thanks for pointing that out. > >

I'm so nice to you, in part, because of Squall's picture.
Actually its brought up quite a storm in the Royal society (oldest scientific institute in the western world at least) over here, you are getting sciencists saying the guy shouldnt have been hired in the first place that science and being a church minister or even a christian are totally incompatible with science. Why I totally agree with this its generally rare that most scientists are publically open about this
interesting...
