Funny old world

Just caught this story off the BBC news website, making me chuckle to myself somewhat.
Its about a professor at some Royal Society for Science getting sacked for allegedly stating that kids should be taught creationism - in fact the guy said that teachers should be prepared to discuss creationism with their pupils if asked, in the context of the teaching of the Theory of Evolution.

The stance taken by the Society just reveals how trapped they are in their thinking about the world around them and how they have never been in a situation of experiencing God, or if they have, that they rejected Him on whatever grounds suited at the time. To me, personally, it seemed like they felt threatened, hence the defensive reaction of ejecting the chap who spoke out on the issue of creationism.

I could get into the broader discussion of evolution versus creationism here, but I'm not going to; its not for this posting and deserves much greater time and effort than I currently have.
