My favourite one was that the earth is 6000 years old
Where did you go to school? Everybody knows its 2025 years old.
I am a Christian and I don't believe that. I could go on at length about how the Bible doesn't support that idea.
The question was about things taught at school.
It's called a Christian school, i wouldn't recommend it
Sure. You're very funny.
They exist. There's one in my town.
I was also taught this in school, along with many very unscientific things. When they eventually taught us about evolution (they had to because of national curriculum) they couldn't stop stressing how it was "just an outdated theory" and showed us additional videos which "disproved" it
Come on, I like a good "look at how stupid those Americans are" as much as anyone, but for it to be funny it has to be within the realm of what could possibly be true.
I'm not even American mate
But the joke here is about Americans, right? (If not, what is the joke that you're trying to make!?)
Religious schools exist!
Funny? Do you think religious schools don't exist?
Please, it's only necessary to think about it seriously for a single moment to realize that a school where children are taught "that the earth is 6000 years old" obviously doesn't exist.
Shouldn't exist. That's different.
Their belief system is based on an a being that can't be sense that banished people to infinite torment for following instincts that he designed them with, then sent part of himself to be tortured and killed as a sacrifice to make up for a curse he put on them, but only if you it was necessary. A ridiculous age of the earth is hardly the craziest thing schools like this teach.
