Letter

In response to The bible, the Hawking index and the case for critical engagement

Creationism in schools

What you are suggesting is just another way of indoctrinating children with so-called, and long-debunked, theological truths.

Theological truths are not factual or evidence-based, but simply ideas based on a religion

Why do you select only the Bible as an example of books that greatly affect society? Why not Karl Marx, Chairman Mao, Mein Kampf, The Origin of species, etc, etc? Because they don’t promote creation and other religious fantasies?

Keep your religions, all of them, out of our schools and away from our children.
