Creation science 101, soon it will have begun, the truth for you and me, down in Tennessee

Tennessee has got the crazies. We aren't surprised. Bible belt blockheads.

Jason Groppel, a local teacher is organizing a weekly Creation 101 series at a local church aimed a high schoolers and first year colelge students. Why?
"Studies show that 75 percent of kids raised in Christian homes lose their faith their first year of college. That is why we are gearing the class toward high school and college-age students," he said. "But it is open to anyone truly interested in the topic.
Open to anyone is the good news. Anyone in Clarksville, TN who could make it to First Assembly of God on Fort Campbell Boulevard this Wednesday and ask some good questions. If needed I'd be happy to help with a bunch of questions to raise, even though
Groppel insists the series is not "dogmatic or doctrine-specific, and the classes most definitely are not designed to be debates."
The hell? He makes it sound like avoiding debate is a good thing? But I can see why:
"We just hope to give kids the tools they need to think for themselves and not just accept what they are taught as factual in school science classrooms," Groppel said.
Because they will given tools to enable them to think for themselves. No talking back necessary.

What can the high schoolers expect to learn, then?
"Evolution and creation are both religions — you have to have faith to believe either one of them," said Jason Groppel, a local teacher and member at First Assembly.
The old canard, evolution is a religion, again. From a teacher. Who clearly knows nothing about evolutionary theory. That is pathetic. This is funny:

  1. Very negative, sorry you couldn't make it to hear what was taught.
    I happen to be an ex-evolutionist and I DO happen to know quite a bit more about evolution than you apparently.

    By the way, a good journalist, Blogger would have contacted the person in question before making such heinous assumptions. You have never met me and do not know anything about me. Simply negative attitudes and assumptions.

    It is a bit cowardly not to approach me about this first and make such public comments without knowing anything about me or what was taught.

    Sad.

    I still welcome you to contact me. I am not hiding. I am easy to find online.

    I don't think so.

  3. Wow, I am shocked that you actually manned up to post my reply...even though you still haven't made any attempt to contact me, one on one, to discuss the details about which you made so many unfounded, biased conjectures.

    Making such assumptions without providing solid evidence for those thoughts (not just about other people...the basis for racism along with other ills of society) is the reason most evolutionists are still blind to the innumerable, sad discrepancies of their humanist dogma.

    Anyway, thanks for posting my replies; that has at least earned you some respect.

    I did actually email you, at jgmcba@yahoo.com.

    Jeez! I must really a hit a nerve. I made just one assumption, and that was that you don't know nothing about evolutionary theory (or, not enough to teach it). You are more than welcome to explain how wrong I am here, or by email.

    Anyway, thanks for posting my replies; that has at least earned you some respect.

    I don't want your respect, quite frankly.
