Dan Brown in Christian classes
I might be straying a little from the topic here, but I'll try my luck.
In denmark the public schools teach a class in christianity. Parents may excempt their children from this class, and it is meant as an introduction to christianity. the class is taught from 1st grade and until 7th or 8th grade as I remember.
We have a small fraction of creationists and IDists in Denmark who have recently been demanding to have ID introduced into the schools. More mainstream christians have been accepting the ID propagande.
I recently read a good come back to these demands. A person writing on a christian messageboard, compared the teaching of ID in science class to teaching the theories from "The Da vinci Codes" in christianity class.
The moderate christians on the board opposed this idea, claiming that Dan Browns theories were bad science and bad theology - That might be so - but that is also the exact same situation with ID - its bad science and bad theology - so why teach it in school
I think that is a rather good anology, even though it has its problems.
