"The scripture teacher told the class that all people were descended from Adam and Eve," he said.

"My daughter rightly pointed out, as I had been teaching her about DNA and science, that 'wouldn't they all be inbred'?

"But the teacher replied that DNA wasn't invented then."

After the parent complained, the girl spent the rest of the year's classes in the library.

2. Science uses Facts...Creationists use Fantasy

[izquierdista]

3. Cue up the music

And run the documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s13X66BFd8 it even has family values!

[Whoa_Nelly]

4. parents can opt out for their children, but how does

being placed in the school library constitute an educational alternative?

If parents can opt out, would think the more reasonable alternative would be an Evolution class.
But, fundies don't want kids to have the option to think...that would mean less followers or religious conversions :::sigh:::

5. "...DNA wasn't invented then."

That might be one of the funniest things I have ever heard!
And not funny ha-ha.

[Enthusiast]

8. Yeah, it's not funny.

Incredible. Very sad.

[chemenger]

15. Agreed!

:rofl:

I wonder, if you asked the teacher "Well then, who invented DNA?" what her answer would be?

Bet you it would be Satan.

6. the teacher shoulda spent the rest of the year in the library - reading science books nt

[IndianaJoe]

7. People are awfully stupid. It's sad. n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. '. . . wasn't invented yet. '

There's stupid, incredibly stupid, and then, we reach the level of this teacher.

[Angry Dragon]

14. Lay people come in and teach

the real teachers would prefer to teach the real classes

[WinkyDink]

10. Thank goodness this isn't the U.S. (Y'all did see this was in Australia, right?)

[LeftinOH]

11. Apparently, Australia also has fundie problems. Aaargh.

[Liberal In Texas]

12. Well, it's not the US. It's Austrailia and the class was Religious Instruction.

Why Australia has religious instruction in public schools is almost as curious as to why they would allow it to be taught by fundy loonies.

13. she should have asked when they invented dna....
