School Teaching Creationism With Video From Islamic Sex Cult

[AUDub 11,424]

Creationists were so eager to get evolution denial materials into Youngstown, Ohio public high schools that they didn't pause long enough to notice that the video and other materials they chose to deliver their message are "from an Islamic, Holocaust-denying group accused of being a sex cult."

Oops

Youngstown, Ohio, students are learning creationism in school with materials from a Islamic, Holocaust-denying group accused of being a sex cult.

A curriculum map (PDF) recommends teachers in this public school district show a creationist video, Cambrian Fossils and the Creation of Species, as part of 10th-grade science education. The video claims that the Cambrian Explosion “totally invalidates the theory of evolution.” The Cambrian Explosion was a time period, nearly 550 million years ago, where, over the next tens of millions of years, the number of species on Earth experienced a (relatively) rapid expansion by evolutionary standards. Christian creationists regularly point to this explosion of life as evidence for creation by God and against evolution.

Blink and you’d miss the Islamic connection in the video. A black screen flashes for less than one second that says “this film is based on the works of Harun Yahya.” In the right corner, there’s a gold bubble that says, “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” in Arabic.

" sex cult " is such a vague term.

But it only makes sense that Muslims would support creationism.

Jews do. As well as Christians. And with Islam only a latter version of the 2 older religions, why change what the others taught ?

They're not rare. Hang out online long enough and you'll meet a few. Generally of the "old earth" variety.
