Dinosaurs: Genesis and the Gospel

[KWCrazy]

What a joke. You have no idea what Jesus actually believed or didn't believe.

That's true. Nothing that Jesus ever said was ever recorded in any form in any book. For all we knew He was a velociraptor who spoke Chinese.

I could post the verses for you again to prove my point, but having done so many times I believe it's a wasted effort.

Those verses were not written by Jesus Christ.

So you're privy to my Employment History & Skills ?
You know the exact School that made this abomination of a test ?
And you know their current Hiring practices ?

I don't have to be a Miss Cleo or a Rhodes scholar to know they would probably tell you to take a hike.

(Correction: They would probably say, "Don't call us, we'll call you.")

 

[pgp_protector]

Fine -- then let's put it succinctly.

You would never make it on their payroll -- so you would neither hire nor fire them.

How's that?

I don't have to be a Miss Cleo or a Rhodes scholar to know they would probably tell you to take a hike.

(Correction: They would probably say, "Don't call us, we'll call you.")

So now we're going from "Never" to "Probably" based on what ?
Amazing how you keep changing the story.

Here, I'll simply this spaghetti by agreeing with you:

Nope, I wouldn't of hired them.

I agree.

Now are you satisfied?

(Correction: They would probably say, "Don't call us, we'll call you.")

And why would they do that?

To keep the tares out of the wheat.

I'm not sure what that means, but religious discrimination when hiring from the general public can be a dangerous game if that is what you are implying.

 

[pgp_protector]

And why would they do that?

To keep the tares out of the wheat.

Given that they won't hire me to "To keep the tares out of the wheat."
If it's to keep the tares out of the wheat, am I the tares or are they?

While private schools have (and should have) broad discretion to teach as they like, the state is not obliged to treat creationist indoctrination as a valid science class.

Agreed.

I don't know what country you're from ... you have a ... um ... well ... your profile lacks that information; but for the record, I don't believe a Christian academy has to hire someone that is going to come in, planning to teach contrary to what was on that quiz.

I don't know, myself, but he may have to sign an agreement or something, saying he will teach from textbooks authorized by the school.

Again, I don't know ... but I have a feeling PGP would get the "Don't call us, we'll call you" dismissal -- and deservedly so.

To keep the tares out of the wheat.

And the educated out of the classroom.

Seems that if they dislike science so much they would do less damage if they just DIDN'T teach a "science" class as opposed to teaching that stuff.

It is one thing to dislike the science, it is an entirely other thing to teach kids made up stuff.

Well, they would probably just be far more polite and discrete about it than your description cuz they wouldn't say you can't work here because you're not one of the "saved".....else the "saved" would be facing a serious law suit (just read your state's and the fed's anti-discriminatory laws)

Religious Discrimination

Religious Discrimination

The way you worded it ... yes ... you're making it look like religious discrimination.

But if someone was hired with the expectation of ... say ... teaching the materials provided by the school, and they refused to comply -- teaching, instead, something that would make Richard Dawkins smile ... then they need not continue employment there.

Even you would agree with that, wouldn't you?

I predict that no child who attends this school will discover a cure for cancer.

Bumped for Keith:

How would you have graded his paper, Keith, if you would have taught him that?

Will they go on to do anything productive?

Maybe I should include some of these questions in job interviews.

 

[AV1611VET]

Will they go on to do anything productive?

You mean like Charles Babbage did?

 

[Mr Strawberry]

Will they go on to do anything productive?

.

They might unknowingly end up as anti-creationism adverts on Christian websites as a result of the contents of the posts they produce at the end of their 'education'. A bit like a photo of lifelong smoker hooked up to a ventilator in an anti-smoking advert. You could argue that that is productive I suppose.
