Faith schools,

utter madness,

segregation of children ie not allowing them freedom of choice in their friends, religion or cultural integration is nothing but a recipe for disaster.

This madness must be stopped immediately!]]> Science Sat, 30 Aug 2008 18:58:02 GMT http://sceptic.darkbb.com/science-f18/faith-schools-t207.htm#712 http://sceptic.darkbb.com/science-f18/faith-schools-t207.htm http://sceptic.darkbb.com/science-f18/extraordinary-claims-proof-t205.htm undercover sceptic

What do you classify as being an extraordinary claim and what would be the extraordinary proof acceptable to a sceptic?

Bearing in mind one is based entirely upon a belief system, the other on scientific evidence.

Is it right school teachers should spend as much time educating our children on a belief system as they do teaching our children Science?

Your opinions are welcomed.

To prove 'scientifically' the existence of God they've used a little word play. No longer is God a personal God that answers individual prayers and creates individual miracles in peoples lives, some theists have gone back to grass roots of God as creator. Based on this hypothesis and Darwin's 'Theory of Evolution', they posit that God is 'The Theory of Evolution'. Since science currently supports this theory it therefore stands ...
