It's one of those times when you have to answer a question with another question.

Creationism is all part of the phony Adam & Eve & the world was created in 7 days stuff.Which has been completely debunked by science.
What i would like to see taught in schools is some kind of common values to aid the world & society to be a better…

Organised religion is social engineering. It amazes me that those same nutjobs who rile against…

I mean if you were taking biology does that mean half your course will be on creationism? Or would you have to take a creationism class? Pretty simple exam:…

So identifying a topic as controversial and discussing the philosophical causes of the controversy breaches broadcasting standards regarding balance because there wasn't a creationist present.

Despite 2 out of 3 guests taking a stance supporting 2 world-views, Mr Price wrote on his blog

So, how…

Okay, I'll listen to this thing. But just because it's you.
