Boy, if I didn't know any better I'd swear I was the one who wrote this.
Be careful of these blanket statements, Rex. That's a slippery slope, no matter what the subject.


This was not meant as disrespectful or unkind to people (Roman Catholic people and Christians in general are very charitable.) but was directed toward broken systems of faith and practice...

We can learn from rocks millions of years of the earth's history. They have retained this history within their ions and composure.

Each passing moment has left it's history within these rocks. It is just not the kind of history we see as relevant. But this is part of HIS story not ours...

RexRed,

I will try to answer some of your questions about the news article on British education policies.

Quote:
These people think they are smart because they know the Greek word for "mob" -- Ekklesia


Ekklesia is an online news service specializing in news about religion in England and Wales.

Quote:
So from a US point of view this is confusing... is she UK school minister as in education minister or school minister as in clergy?


In the UK, Tony Blair is, of course, the "prime" minister. Members of his "cabinet" are also called ministers (not "secretaries" as cabinet members in the U.S. are called).

Quote:
How about objective science? This is not teaching but dictating. The students will be railing on these teachers who try to obscure their fundamental right to choice. I will be with them on this one.


The minister is excluding creationism from science classes. She states that creation can be taught in "RE" classes. "RE" denotes religious education.

Quote:
What might this "category mistake" be? That God did NOT create the heavens and the earth? Great clergy you are. If you can doubt the first lines of the Bible you can doubt any line anywhere you want and the whole book is worthless. (most Catholics don't read the Bible anyway.. should figure.)


The leader of the Anglican Church called creationism a "category mistake". In other words, issues of religion should be kept separate from issues of science.

Most of your objections, rexred, seem to indicate that you are not willing to keep issues of religion separate from issues of science. In the UK, both the education minister and the leader of the Anglican Church want to keep issues of religion separate from issues of science.

Rex, what about: "Planet Of The Apes"
How does that all fit in?

Rex, what about: "Beneath The Planet Of The Apes"
How does that all fit in?

Rex, what about: "Escape From The Planet Of The Apes"
How does that all fit in?

Rex, what about: "Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes"
How does that all fit in?

Rex, what about: "Battle For The Planet Of The Apes"
How does that all fit in?

Rex, what about: "Planet Of The Apes 2001"
How does that all fit in?

I really feel Rex, that the downfall of man, all those super apes, super science, time travel, and global destruction with nuclear bombs must mean something very big in God's plan. Could it be the biblical prophecy of Armageddon? Could it be the biblical prophecy of the Apocalypse?

I am sure Rex, that with so many sequels repeating the same message about sick science, it must mean God is trying very hard to tell us something very important!

Oh no it isn't. Not in any sort of short-term anyway.

You can't get away with the daily grind that easy.

You don't think that a scientist in a lab could not accidentally stumble on the key to uncreate existence?

This type of thing happens a lot in science fiction, especially those cheap "I told ya so" sort of stories you see on Twilight Zone and such. And sci-fi is great stuff, but you have to know where the science ends and the fiction begins. Otherwise you're just chicken little.

That is why I asked Rex about "Planet Of The Apes" a few posts back. He seems to have overlooked it, that's not like him. RedRex moves in mysterious ways.........

He's missed his (or her) calling -- writing sci-fi.

How can one separate the creator from creation?

Consider, much of yesterday's sci-fi is today's science.

I remember my mother telling me a friend laughed at her when she said one day humans would walk on the moon...

Could you reword it the way you see it?

Are you saying today's science is sci-fi? Smile

Easy, I think that the science predates the science-fiction. All the Victorian writers that wrote about sci-fi (Doyle, Wells, Verne, Shelly etc) were actually writing fiction after hearing about science "theories" or discoveries.
