"Students in Texas' public schools are still learning that the Bible provides scientific evidence that the Earth is 6,000 years old, that astronauts have discovered "a day missing in space in elapsed time" that affirms biblical stories of the sun standing still and moving backwards, and that the United States was founded as a Christian nation based on biblical Christian principles."*
Texas public schools are teaching creationism in schools. It's not a balanced religious studies class either- strictly Christian lessons are being taught, even pushed in the schools. How is this teaching allowable? Would a similarly-structured Islam class be okay? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

Which Bible is being used to teach Electives? The State Board of Equation approves the Curriculum Objectives, but a teacher can interpret and use their own teaching methodology in the State of Texas.

(3,576 posts)Nothing struck me as profound or worth the effort of reading except for Jesus Sermon On the Mount. Revelations made no sense at all. The writing in the Bible did not strike me as "high art" or poetic either. What I concluded is simple, religion is a figment of the mind and spirituality is of the heart.
