I mean, how can, like, an African American person evolve from a white person? We’re different skin.

I'm truly at a loss for words here. Not just from the incredible ignorance of the students, but the incredible ignorance of the teacher too. What kind of science teacher doesn't understand that wolves and dogs are the same species?

Why is this guy a science teacher? If he wants the kind of role he's suggesting, he should have become a preacher. No part of that video makes one iota of sense.

But it does scare the sh%t out of me.

"Basically it's not been proven"

Wait, when was the Bible proven? Did I miss the memo, guys? :o

(And if I had to guess, I'd say their English curriculum isn't very good either.. :lol: )

Their ignorance just blows me away. Their ignorance of evolution, science, other religions... (And probably Christianity as well.) It's sad, I agree.

I tend to agree with the one male student who claims that he didn't evolve. Truer words were never spoken.

Religion is the only force in the world that lets a person have his prejudice or hatred and feel good about it --S C Hitchcock

Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it. --André Gide

What a loathsome teaching:

Comrades, let us question the Biblical portrayal of God:

I felt inspired to start another thread, because this thread is so sickmaking I don't want to be involved with it.

Tower of Babel -
Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish.

He was born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world is mad....

I knew it was out there, but it's sickening to hear. Teachers should be instructing students how to question everything and come to their own conclusions. Theachers should not be giving opinions. These are teenagers who are so ignorant that there isn't a chance for them.
