Subject: RE: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
Interesting, science geek.

My parents enrolled me in Christian church education when I was a youth (I was never too eager to attend). I do not recall any teachings nor material mentioned, challenging evolution. I did not see it to be an issue, until the creationist stuff was raised in the media in recent years, mostly from the southern USA, if I recall correctly. Locally, it is a non-issue, except possibly it is discussed in private, among folks in some small religious groups. While the notion gets media attention, as it is odd, I suspect that few Christians or others, actually subscribe to such an strange interpretation of Christian documents. Taking it farther, and rigidly challenging the basis of important science, IMO, is just weird. But, then, weirdness is certainly not exclusive to this case.
