re: #39 Charles

I get your point, but to be pedantic I would argue it has no business being taught in Sunday School either — because it’s a false world view that can only lead to ignorance. It’s wrong to teach children things that are known to be false, and there’s absolutely no doubt that Biblical literalist creationism is complete nonsense.

I agree that literal Biblical creationism is nonsense; I also think a parent who teaches this nonsense to their kids is doing something bordering on child abuse. Just my .02 on that.

But there are people who believe it, as weird as it seems, and if people insist on having it taught to their kids - Sunday School is where it belongs. And it’s my opinion that that is the message that MIGHT get through to some people who might otherwise be for the teaching of creationism in schools.
