PACE revisited: Everybody duck!

Some of what I blog is frivolous (no comments!). Often, I'll encourage you to follow a link to another site to get the gist of what I'm trying to share.

I stumbled across this tonight.

The PACE (Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly...see "Abortion: The European Front" below) has dropped its facade and has trumpeted its full-scale hostility toward Christianity. They will be voting on a resolution to ban any possibility of discussing the evidence for Intelligent Design or the evidence for a six-day creation and to advance evolutionary teaching as the only acceptable scientific foundation.

Interestingly, in the film "Expelled," a scientist in Poland indicated that he did not catch any flak for advancing the evidence for a creator. He seemed to think the hostility was uniquely American. He is w-r-o-n-g.

It's not that those in science or government would seek to silence God. That is becoming common place. I ask as strongly as I can, please give this resolution a scan ("The dangers of creationism in education") to see the outright hostility toward the implication of Christ on society.

I'm not making this stuff up. Here are a couple of bullets:
  • "The Parliamentary Assembly is worried about the possible ill-effects of the spread of creationist ideas within our education systems and about the consequences for our democracies. If we are not careful, creationism could become a threat to human rights which are a key concern of the Council of Europe."
  • "We are witnessing a growth of modes of thought which, the better to impose religious dogma, are attacking the very core of the knowledge that we have patiently built up on nature, evolution, our origins and our place in the universe."
Such attitudes exist within our borders as well. Stand firm!
