What I'd do with these packs is sort them out and take them to be recycled. Hopefully to something that makes sense.

I know this is an old vid but it's the same logical fallacy over and over. Ie it's to complex to be explained therefore god. Thats not evidence thats god of the gaps.

@EPICsliceOFcake Approx. 60% of Americans don't accept that evolution is a fact. More than 80% are religious in some way. More than 40% attend church regularly. Around 60% pray weekly (i.e. speak to an imaginery friend on a regular basis!). Add to that the general prohibition on being openly non-religious/atheist in positions of public office and the depressing influence of religious pandering in American politics, I'd say that is a pretty unhealthy situation.

@Tapiola2007 It's not really that bad here in the US. Only the most right-wing, low income areas try to teach that. Most people don't take them seriously.

Today class, we are going to learn about creationism as well as biology. Next term we'll tackle chemistry and alchemy. And the last term in the year we'll study physics and magic.

Let's not leave out the Dairy Theory of moon formation.

Keep up the fight folks, we can't go the way of the U.S! Embracing pseudoscience and disregarding rationality will be the end of us.

@Tapiola2007 I agree. Scary stuff...
e“If we are going to teach creation science as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction.”

Disturbing to see this sort of Creationist rubbish being discussed in the context of the English school system. Hopefully we avoid the mass insanity evident in the US!
