Can you Adam and Eve it?

How belief in Adam and Eve is making a revival in the UK I wish it was an April Fool's joke...

A teachers' union has said it is alarmed by an increase in lessons which teach that Adam and Eve was the literal truth, rather the fable which science believes it to be. The rise in creationism is not just an American phenomenon.

"Evolution is not compatible with Christianity," he [Dr Monty White] insists.

I'm sorry to say Dr White, but I think you'll find more than a few Christians who are willing to contradict you.

There is a creationist museum in Portsmouth called Genesis Expo, run by the Creation Science Movement (CSM). Children can play with Boris the dinosaur and learn why evolution is scientifically impossible.

Stuff like this makes me come out in a cold sweat. I'd like someone to come and explain to me why evolution is scientifically impossible.

I'm going to have my lunch before this makes me more mad.

I was taught creationism/Adam and Eve as literal truth. And promptly got thrown out of my RE class when I got a bit passionate as to how fucking moronic it all was.

The teacher claiming there was no evidence that atoms exist *killed* me. I still get furious thinking about that class, though I think they had to drop it after, um, the scene I made.

I think I'd have been thrown out too.
