Students in a freshman biology class in Atlantas Grady High School were shown a PowerPoint presentation that linked evolution to Satan, abortion, divorce, racism, and homosexuality.
The Grady High student newspaper, the Southerner, reported that Anquinette Jones used the PowerPoint presentation to teach the theory of evolution to her students during a freshman biology class last spring.
One slide in the 52-slide presentation included an illustration that shows creationism and evolution as two sides in a war between good and evil. Creationism is shown to be from Christ, while evolution is from Satan. The illustration suggests evolution is the driving force behind euthanasia, homosexuality, pornography, abortion, divorce, and racism social ills that are all defeated by creationism and Christianity.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted the PowerPoint presentation also includes grammatical errors and odd illustrations including a photo of Octomom, along with the creationism picture.

(35,047 posts)How do take all of the fallacies and all of the error types that are the exact opposite of learning and teaching, and then want to enter the teaching field, and then actually do it?
Someone dropped the ball, big time.

(76 posts)just googled her picture and she appears Hispanic or maybe from Michelle Malkins old home. Needs to fired right now. The cowardliness for the RW "political correctness" like their wacko religion is holding America back. I use the word cowardly because this is not about tolerance, its about standing up to their intolerance.
Go teach religion, get out of science.

(37,158 posts)The descriptions in the Rawstory and the AJC stories miss an important nuance.
Not just a war, but Evolution is the foundation of the "Satan" bastion, while Creation(ism) is the foundation of the "Christ" bastion. Those flying the Humanism flag are relentlessly concentrating their fire on the foundation of the opposing bastion, while those flying the Christianity flag are pointing their cannons everywhere else: one popping the distracting balloons above the satanist bastion (with one of their infernal number inflating a new one to take the place of each one lost), one firing in the wrong direction entirely, and one aiming at the balloon-popper on his own side.
So it's even insulting to Christians: most Christians don't regard creationism as the foundation of their faith. Their faith is not undermined by thinking of the creation myth as a parable rather than a history lesson.
(And once again I ask "...and why does it take an atheist to explain this?"

(3,660 posts)46% of the nation believes in young earth creationism. It is impossible to logically arrive at that number without including a majority of the Christians here.
