Hello, eager young minds!

Hello, eager young minds!
This blog contains various articles and stuff to help you achieve a decent grade in your RS GCSE.

There is a box over there on the side with all the labels for various posts, key terms such as 'Just War'. So when you want to look at a specific key term you can click on those to find all the relevant posts. You then read these posts to enhance your knowledge and understanding of that topic. It really is that simple!

I very much look forward to checking the stats for this blog to discover that literally none of you have bothered to read any of it.

Noah's Ark Theme Park!

Have you ever wanted to visit a life-size Noah's Ark, full of dinosaurs, zip lines and fundamentalist Christians?  You have?  Well, your dream is about to come true because this place now exists:



This theme park is based on fundamental Christian beliefs, including creationism, the theory that God created the universe in six days and that it is only about 6,000 years old.  This means that it directly contradicts the Theory of Evolution and is an example of Bible literalism, the belief that the Bible is literally true and Evolution is wrong. 

It is important to remember that many Christians are not bible literalists, they can accept Evolution/Big Bang and still believe in the Bible symbolically, i.e. that God created the universe but not literally in 6 days, instead God is the 'first cause' or 'designer' of the universe and God is actually responsible for Evolution/Big Bang.







And if you think this is an exclusively American phenomenon, why not pop down to Portsmouth to check out the UK's very own Creationist Museum!
