You mean it teaches "survival of the fittest" Darwinist rubbish that seeks to make people accept there must be an elite that rule over eveyone else and there is a natural "order" in society that must be accepted.
How convenient for the state to teach that.....

Do tell me the answer to this one because I don't know.
The big bang ? And where did that come from ?
Besides which, how does that actually educate people to think for themselves ? Isn't it just a bunch of useless facts like History lessons ?

Ok some education is useful but only enough to make society function and fit into pre-defined roles.
Doesn't teach you anything about adopting creative thinking - not suprising either....

If Jesus
did exist it's totally likely that he would have been capable of unnatural phenomenon outside of science in the physical world.
But you're proabably taking the bible too literally - is it meant to be taken word for word and applied to todays world ? I'd guess not.
It's probably parables and wise hidden meanings ?

If Tony Blair was religious in the proper sense of the word, he wouldn't start illegal wars that kill thousands of people and lie.

I think you've made the classic mistake that because you see fake religion being practiced, you think all religious thinking is rubbish too.
How can you dismiss a religion that you haven't discovered yet ?
You can't because you don't know what it necessarily is to begin with !
I'm not saying I believe or not in "religion" because it's possible that no-one(including myself) really knows, but I'm not going to follow Dawkins like a smug brainwashed sheep either.
Ever asked yourself, what's his
motivation ?
If it were the
truth, I doubt he would have anything to do with the BBC would he ?
