In today's class, we discussed religion, stereotypes, tolerance, and beliefs. We also discussed gender in religion. There were actually religions long ago that were centered around women. We also looked at a Youtube video about the Westboro Baptist Church, after I had mentioned the Westboro Baptist Church.
We also stated that we can't live without a belief and that we are all capable of good AND evil.
We then watched the documentary "Expelled" starring Ben Stein. It's about some evolutionary professors losing their jobs simply because they mentioned "intelligent design" in their lectures. To me, that's kinda a kick in the teeth. If evolution is allowed in schools, then why not also "intelligent design"? Secular scientists, such as Richard Dawkins, state that "intelligent design" stem from ignorance.
I'm kinda in the middle when it comes to evolution vs. creationism or intelligent design. Why does it matter how we came here or how we came to be modern human beings? That was eons ago. This is now. Also, is there some secret to saving humanity by settling the God or evolution/intelligent design debate through "evidence"? Is that why they're trying to find answers? If so, then great. If not, let's just focus on the now and on the future. Or at least only keep our retrospect to at least 1000 years in the past instead of billions of years.
