Jesus.

(Ironic)

You called??

You don't have to go to South Korea - degrees in such subjects as surfing, the science of Harry Potter, queer music (thats what they call it), Star Treck are all available and just as pointless.

The Institute for Creation Research already offers courses in codology which they advertize as being at the bachelor and master level.

A qualification - as desirable as a social disease - could be yours for as little as $25,600 (plus extras!):

Sour Grapes ... eh ?:)

... and with state funding (to enourage diversity and all that) the cost could be brought down significantly.

Can't find Dr Lee's scientific doctorate details (not saying that he isn't suitably qualified). I can find his thesis for a Doctor of Ministry submitted to the excellent Liberty University. I'm sure they rigourously analysed the findings.

You're forgetting about the 500 PhDs who are helping him !!!:)

Who ressurrected this thread??

You guys really do love ... Creationism ... its your secret guilty pleasure !!!:)

... and here is the current situation in regard to Creation Science within the UK (according to Wikipedia):-
Quote:-
"United Kingdom
The Genesis Expo is a young Earth creationism museum in Portsmouth, England.
Since the development of evolutionary theory by Charles Darwin in England, where his portrait appears on the back of the revised Series E £10 note issued in 2000, significant shifts in British public opinion have occurred. A 2006 survey for the BBC showed that "more than a fifth of those polled were convinced by the creationist argument,"[56] a massive decrease from the almost total acceptance of creationism before Darwin published his theory. A 2010 Angus Reid poll found that "In Britain, two-thirds of respondents (68%) side with evolution while less than one-in-five (16%) choose creationism. At least seven-in-ten respondents in the South of England (70%) and Scotland (75%) believe human beings evolved from less advanced life forms over millions of years."[57] A subsequent 2010 YouGov poll on the origin of humans found that 9% opted for creationism, 12% intelligent design, 65% evolutionary theory and 13% did not know.[58]

Speaking at the British Science Association's British Science Festival at the University of Liverpool in 2008, Professor Michael Reiss estimated that about only 10% of children were from a family that supported a creationist rather than evolutionary viewpoint.[59] Richard Dawkins has been quoted saying "I have spoken to a lot of science teachers in schools here in Britain who are finding an increasing number of students coming to them and saying they are Young Earth creationists."[60]

The director of education at the Royal Society has said that creationism should be discussed in school science lessons, rather than be excluded, to explain why creationism had no scientific basis.[61] Wales has the largest proportion of theistic evolutionists—the belief that evolution is part of God's plan (38%). Northern Ireland has the highest proportion of people who believe in 'intelligent design' (16%), which holds that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."[62] Some private religious schools in the UK teach creationism rather than evolution.[56] The British Humanist Association and leading scientists campaigned to make creationism illegal in state funded schools from 2011 onwards. In 2014 they achieved their goal when the Department for Education updated the funding contracts of Academies and Free Schools to this effect, and at the same time, clarified that creationism being taught as science contravened existing 'British values' requirements."

... all in all a very dynamic (and exciting) situation !!!:)

How exactly do your last two posts support your Creationist theories JC?

What you've highlighted is much the same as a science teacher insisting they have a right to go into a church of a Sunday and give a sermon on evolution as an alternative to whatever babble the priest is offering that week. It's pointless, needlessly provocative, and bordering on the deranged.

So you think that schools are some kind of 'church' within which evolutionists practice and reinforce their faith in Atheism, (and its pet 'origins' theory of Spontaneous Biogenesis and Evolution) then?
... and the law should protect them (and their 'congregation' of pupils) from hearing any alternative ideas? ... even the most died-in-the-wool church wouldn't be as intolerant of alternative viewpoints as that!!!
