A recent survey by Penn State researchers of high school science teachers yielded the surprising results that an estimated 16% in the U.S. believe in creationism. With this large a number potentially spreading creationist doctrine, is it any surprise that the recent documentary ”Expelled”, about those who study the concept of intelligent design is so popular? Recently in the P.O.V. blog, writer Tom Roston has questioned the film ”Expelled’-but more for it’s techniques, and implications for future documentary productions.

What does that tell us about the differences between the teachers in the US and the UK? Or does it reflect anything at all about public opinion?
Teachers need to review Genesis and see that science supports much if not everything that is written therein, although the churches somehow screw up the bway they read it.
I mean, the Big Bang theory of 1940 was really aconfirmation of "In the beginning," which before was debated against an eternal universe.
Here is how I would teach Gen 1:1:
Gen. 1:1 In the beginning, (the Formative/Cosmology Era), God, (the Uncaused First Cause, or the Dark Energy which pre-existed the material Universe, perhaps), created... (all that which has followed the Big Bang from the singularity of Planck Time which consisted of
Seven Stages:
1) The Inflation Era
2) The Quark Era
3) Hadron Era
4) Lepton Era
5) Nucleosynthesis Era
6) Opaque Era
7) Matter Era,...
in an enormous Einsteinian energy transformation, E = mC^2),...
... the (matter composing the) heaven (beyond the Solar System) and the (accretion disk which congealed into the planet) earth.
(Gen 1:1)

Re: Class distinctions, poverty, materialism, quality of life
Oh,... if its ok to say why teaching creationism or Genesis is OK, I'd say that Class distinctions would disappear over time.
The Middle Class republican church going Class could explain how the bible makes sense to the lower Class, democratic party base which opposes religion because of abortion and contraceptive and sexual permissiveness.
Once they see that Genesis is actually scientifically correct when read properly, then the sexual prudence parts would have a chance of being aired.

Re: Class disctinctions, poverty, materialism, quality of life
I think I see what you are saying now.
It is difficult to get the message across in this medium because only short paragraphs are used to zip in the points made.
Long dissertations are ignored or poorly read, IPE.
But the argument is that the people who want the religious community to shut up make fun of their Creationism and stone walling of Science exactly for the reason of mocking religious ideas about sexual prudence.,
These mockers want the liberal sexual revolution to continue and enlarge into homosexual marriage and contraception which includes killing the fetus.
They erroneously say that no harm is done but Welfare and the violent crime that accompanies it is ignored.
So is the child abuse so extraordinary and common to fatherless kids.
The argument over Genesis occupies the church that ought be discussing the 60 years of sexual promiscuity which has destroyed American Family in general, as an institution.

Re: Class disctinctions, poverty, materialism, quality of life
Why are you so obsessed with sexual promiscuity? You're like a dog with a bone.
Youi mean why are the points I make withreference to th Stats on crime and poverty so obsessed with Sexual Prudence?
The dogs, obsessed with their boners, are the one's who are sexually promiscuous in our society.
