Archbishop rejects creationism in schools


What have we come to when it's the Archbishop who talks more sense about creationism than our politicians?

I editted it slightly to make him sound more rational.

chuckle. He sounds like he's pissed (in the UK use of the word). Faith is cowardly. Its a childish insistance that something you want to be true is treated as if it is without contention.

How does faith get a pass in *any* societal dialogue?

Nelson Mandela? Mahatma Gandhi?
