So, I'm not a fan of Archbishops in general, but I was somewhat surprised by the insight offered by the Archbishop of Canterbury in this sfgate.com article.
Basically he states that if you teach "creationism" as an alternate theory in school it reduces it to "just another theory." It actually reduces creationism and by proxy the whole of the christian faith to just being "another theory."
I almost think that the reason I'm an athiest is that I was taught from an early age that the biblical account of things is one theory, and the scientific account is another and you can choose one or the other. Now, since the biblical account is so absurdly far fetched, I of course, chose the scientific one.
Brilliant!
Great reading, keep up the great posts.
