Ahhh, that’s why….
There are lies damn lies and there are statistics thrown about by religious organisations. My mistake for not reading below the surface a little.
The statistics the Telegraph were quoting in their article were provided by Theos, a so called ‘Think Tank’ (we tell you what to think or we send in the tanks) organisation – this is from their website:
Theos is a public theology think tank which exists to undertake research and provide commentary on social and political arrangements. We aim to impact opinion around issues of faith and belief in society. We were launched in November 2006 with the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor. Our first report“Doing God”: A Future for Faith in the Public Square examined the reasons why faith will play an increasingly significant role in public life.
What they are then is a religious shill that does black-ops marketing on behalf of the Anglican and Catholic churches in the UK.
Strange for the Telegraph to blatantly put out this propaganda. There’s another story there I am sure.
Evolution vs Creationism in the UK
Charles Darwin - Image Telegraph.co.uk
Apparently we are slipping back in time in the UK. According to the Telegraph half the British public believe that evolution and science can’t explain life the universe and everything better than “In the beginning of God’s creation of the heavens and the earth……”
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the dark ages, the round Earthers are being stoned to death for heresy and the black death is wiping out large parts of Europe because they have sinned (obviously) and their prayers for deliverance are falling on deaf ears.
For more deluded bullsquit look here, here and to the root of it all the old testament here .
Someone find me a way off this rock.
