Subject: RE: BS: teaching religion in secondary school UK
The essential problem for most "people of books" is that they don't read all their books and they pick and choose from within the books.

I feel sure we can construct a simple test for people who say their book has it all and that geology or evolution are wrong. Ask them the way to somewhere and offer them their book or a road map as a help.

But just to make things, clear most religious books do not describe the origins of the planet, life or much else. People who teach otherwise are telling lies to children. This is never going to be a good idea.

Cheers
