Hast to be a creator
If they want to teach creationism alongside Darwinism at the Netherthorpe school, I think this would be fair and the state should support it.
At least the children would get a balanced view of origins science as I assume Mr Granville from Sheffield Humanists only wants schools to teach evolution. That would be indoctrination.
As for Mr Granville saying creationism has no factual basis, life has to come from life. It’s a scientific law (biogenesis) therefore there has to be a creator.

Try New Zealand
New Zealand is a fab place. Clean and tidy. No litter-strewn streets or graffiti. Try it, Toby. You’ll love it!

Don’t do it next year
What sort of person, living in a luxury riverside apartment, decides to throw their Christmas tree into the Don on twelfth night?
Someone did it last year, and someone, probably the same person, has done it again this year. The evidence is there for all to see, grounded beside Borough Bridge.
If it was you, and you are reading this, please don’t do it again next year.

Greedy governments
I SEE our rents are to increase, the excuse being that the Government wants council tenants to pay the same as housing association tenants.
If that’s the case, then why aren’t association rents lowered to the council’s levels? It doesn’t work like that, does it? It’s all about greedy governments making more out of the working class.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 11:31 AMA Bridgewater, you are incorrect in stating life has to come from life. The creation of urea was proof that organic substances could be created by inorganic means. also biogenesis is NOT a scientific law. Merely a set of hypotheses about how life may have come about from inorganic processes.

Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 07:22 PMThe evolution theory is an irrational falsehood, zealously embraced by atheists, that is a phony conclusion of the 600+ million year fossil record. There is no “valid supporting data” for evolution. In a court of law, or in a public forum, the same evidence that evolutionists would use to try to “prove” the validity of that theory, I would utilize to reveal the truth of Genesis. In order to believe in evolution, you have to purposely ignore certain facts of reality. For example, when you see illustrations of primates being pictured as evolving into humans, it can be shown in a court of law that such a premise is impossible, because certain human and primate traits are different, and could not have ever been shared. The only “common ancestor” that humans and primates share is God Himself. Current Creationism has refused to teach the truth of the Genesis text, and either teaches foolishness (young Earth), or false doctrines (non-literal reading of the text). Creationists thoughtlessly try to prove “Creationism”, rather than seeking and teaching the truth of Genesis. How can an untruth, ever prove another lie, to be in error? You can’t do it. That is why Creationism fails. It essentially is also a lie, and should be discarded, even by Bible believers. The correct opposing view to evolution is the "Observations of Moses", which conveys the truth of Genesis chapter one. Those that imply that God used evolution are infidels at worse, or clowns at best, that refuse to learn the truth of Genesis. The truth has been available for more than 18 years. Such a discussion is currently silly, and shows stubbornness against learning the truth of God's Word. There are no "creation stories" in Genesis. In fact, about all of theology and creationism have no idea what Moses was writing about. You can't simply take an advanced book of math or science, and try to read from it on your own without personal instruction. For example, Genesis declares that mankind has been on this Earth, in his present likeness, for more than 60 million years. The "male and female" in Genesis chapter one was not "Adam & Eve". Has modern science discovered that yet? Herman Cummings ephraim7@aol.com

Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 12:14 PMI don't believe your "balanced view" (A Bridgwater) would lead to anything more than intolerance and stupidity. Religion should be a choice that is kept away from state schools as in France and not perpetuated by professinal teachers. Also your argument is flawed , how do you teach something that cannot be tested and scrutinized as in the sciences? The "indoctrination" you ellude to is science. What next? Schools to teach reading tea leaves, or maybe astrology and tarot cards?

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 01:54 PMRe Creationism. . . . Talk about straw man! . . . Creationism has nothing at all to do with Science and is based on religious faith which doesn't need proof. . . . Unfortunately you have already accepted the downfall of your argument by stating that "life has to come from life." . . . So one question, who created the creator?

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 08:57 AMI've been to New Zeeland. Country is beautiful but its also the most boring place on earth. Miles from anywhere. Absolutley, nothing there and nothing happening. 15 sheep for every person. Very little tansport infrastructure because so few people. Culteral deseret. Horrible accent. No thanks, give me Sheffield any day.
