Empiricism. Well, we all can use our senses in just about the same way. But we may still not arrive at the truth about certain things using just our senses. Empiricism is limited.
I agree, the use of the senses is limited. And this is exactly where all our religion comes in, to help improve our ability to use our senses, and not to abandon their use completely. Or what else have we that is not limited like our God given limited senses?

I am trying to get a picture of what the religious studies would be like on this subject. The teacher would just tell them to go read the passages or something along those lines?
No teacher in a UK school will tell students to read Bible! You can hardly get them to read at all or Shakespeare even, not to talk of maths and science and history and philosophy and climate change, so you wouldn't want to, apart from the hard time you'd have snatching them away from Strictly Dancing and Love Island and Premier League and Netflix and shopping. The thought even makes me laugh.

I wonder if you've read Jonathan Swift's

Full and True Account OF THE BATTEL Fought last FRIDAY, Between the Antient and the Modern BOOKS IN St. JAMES's LIBRARY.

It's the battle in the UK school system that makes it evolve and not teach 400bc 'science' in the 21st century. Henry the VIII of all people takes credit for kicking out what was at the time called "superstition", and some hark back to [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyry_%28philosopher%29?wprov=sfla1]Porphyry[/url].

Schools in UK aim to equip you to handle the three score and ten. Anything outside that, God trully help you, not school.

Just about in all the ways creationism is not science, evolution is not science too.
Except one has no evidence whatsoever to support what's written in a book in complete disregard for the use of your own senses to see what evolves before you.

Christianity has huge history in UK and Europe so it is taught extensively in history class where you'd touch on the Bible and its history, and someone is bound to ask about creationism when you first mention evolution and would also be touched on in sociology too, so its in the curriculum in that context and one should expect some to read the book. But it is in no way a required text book and no school will teach you to worship, pray or believe even though you may pray and sing hymns at assembly in church schools.

No religion though. You cannot, under any circumstance set up class and 'teach' God created heaven and earth in six days then rested!

Yes, I don't mean preach. More like state it exactly as the bible states it, no editorials.
No UK school "states it exactly as the bible states it, no editorials"! The teachers are not robots! Think of them as anthropologists, history, sociologists, philosophers, physicists, etc, thinking people who have done their research teaching students how to do research too.

LordReed:
So while teaching modules on christianity you can't mention the 6 day creation story?
I'm assuming by "mention" you don't mean, preach it as a religion?

There is no 'preaching class' in UK schools. They will learn about as many day creations as there is interest in.
Investment › The Negative Bond Yield Turns! by budaatum(op): 8:03pm On Sep 20, 2019
Negative yields are occurring with greater frequency in global bond markets. What generates negative yields and why do investors continue to buy these money-losing bonds?

LordReed:
I cannot find anything to support this (except of course conjecture on creation.com). You have any definitive article that says it has been banned in religious studies?
They don't teach "religious studies" in British schools. You can't go in there and tell multireligious UK students your god created the world!

Religious Education is taught from primary school as 59 Enquiry modules covering Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. It covers history, practices, beliefs, their texts, their prophets, gods etc. Your parent can request you not attend if they prefer you be ignorant but hardly many do. You may do individual modules at GCSE.

There is absolutely no class in any school under any curriculum that officially teaches creationism in UK. And if any does it would be sanctioned!

The cleric subtly told Mr
VP the solemn truth but will political hypocrisy allow his conscience to speak to him?
I do not think Osinbajo is a hypocrite. You can not possibly be suggesting there aren't many out there destroying any plans they might have had?

You know what? We, Nigerians should all write to @ProfOsinbajo. If we shout the "solemn truth" loudly and wisely we might get beyond his "political hypocrisy" and speak to "his conscience" and he might hear.

“Government must empower the poor, not the one where you give generators to people without anything they will use them to power.“Some are very rich, they have everything, but not blessed by heaven,” the cleric said.

My kids can be taught evolution in school and still learn the Bible at home. There is no law yet against that. And when there is one, I will happily disobey it and suffer the consequences if I must.

Christianity Etc › Re: Senseless Cynical Censorship: Humanists Target Creationism In Welsh Schools by budaatum: 4:26pm On Sep 20, 2019
Creationism is not God. There's enough evidence to reduce it to mythology or early human understanding of how things might have come about. And those who think its literally true should perhaps start looking to the Spirit of the Word and not its letters!

Besides, you can always be responsible and teach your child Creationism in the privacy of your homes. It is your parental duty afterall!

No he is not against World unity, if he had allowed men to unite it could have lead to Sin and wickedness been pervasive which could have lead to the second destruction of the world just like in the time of Noah.

The purpose of God scattering them was to minimize the effect of Sin.
The Lord who said, "Blessed are the Peacemakers", is scattering?

I'm so glad He retired and His Son took over!

Seun, I am not happy that my non-rule breaking posts could be made to disappear! I'm sure its because they were reported for breaking s rule, but reports surely must be reviewed or anyone can just report posts they don't like! It would very sad if one's hard work can be so easily obliterated

Below is a screenshot of my like and share list where you can see the disappearances and which I would like reinstated if they are found to have not broken rules, along with the one spambot got please.
