8th Grade Religion


Top notch discussion today! Go, go awesome Catholic open-mindedness for science! And a heavy hitting critical moment on politicians duty to the predominant views espoused by their faith.


The visual above relates to our discussion topics on creationism, evolution, big bang theory, fundamentalism and John Paul II's comments on them. Not making a values judgment, nor by any means am I saying the timeline is exact or without bias. The wealth of resources like this do not use favorable language towards the Catholic Church. Be that as it may, that does not exclude its use from your scholarly eyes. 4000 BC? O RLY? We happy few that are not fundamentalists will be further exploring the context of these date assignments and the Catholic view of chronology.


And tomorrow: bring your Bibles for credit. There will be a written assignment associated with the days text based discussion tomorrow.


If you read this feel free to begin considering the subjective nature of disagreeing passages in The Bible and how we use them to apply to the great wealth of our human condition.
