I'm a catholic and at my school we get taught that God started the Big Bang and that the bible is a metaphor and was not meant to be taken literally which I agree with. Just my opinion.

Edited by Donkey_Hotay: 5/27/2015 5:52:42 AMis this a public or private school? because if it's a public school, what they're doing is illegal and infringing upon the first amendment rights of the students. [quote]we get taught that God started the Big Bang[/quote]how do they teach that connection? there's no evidence to make that case.

The Big Bang had to start somehow, I know it could of just happened but there's no evidence to say God didn't have apart in the Big Bang. God could of been the reason all the matter collided at the right speed at the right time. There is no evidence to support this but there is no evidence against it either. Like I said before this is my personal opinion and I don't care if you don't believe this.

This is just what I believe is true. I was not saying it is fact. My opinion =/= Fact. Also catholic schools in Australia are not private or public but if a side had to be taken they would be more on the private side.

why would anyone hold an opinion that doesn't have any realistic foundation? seems like you're just sticking god into the equation for no reason.

Been saying stuff along those lines for years. Do I believe in God? Yes. Do I think the core ideals of the Bible are correct? Yes. Do I believe that the Bible has been twisted by years of people accidentally changing parts? Yes. Ever played that game, broken telephone (The one where you pass along a message and by the other end, nearly nothing is correct)? That's what the Bible is. One giant game of broken telephone between God and us going on for centuries.

100% agree

Your opinion? Or what you were "taught?"
-
My opinion, in primary school we were taught differently and I didn't agree with that. We also get told to believe what we want to believe in high school, and that was my RE teachers idea and I like it and find it reasonable.

But since there is a minority of Christians who take the bible as literal fact Atheists will continue to bash Christianity as a whole.
