25 years ago, kids in school thought humans had only been around since the birth of Christ.


Did you know any better 28/30 years ago?
 
carajo, sorry, this was meant to be posted in the religion section.




mod can you please move this thread to spirit/religion section ... I've just done my own brain in ...
 
No, they were teaching us about the roman empire 25 years ago. We didn't just learn about the middle ages in the last 25 years... We also knew about the Mongols, ancient Egyptians...shall I keep going? We also knew that Jesus had a mother, that was older than him...therefore we knew it was at least older than Jesus.

I think your just high and over thinking it/
 
I will add however that I am only 25, yet I do know that they tought all those things I mentioned above 25 years ago in school.
 
Dumbest. Thread. Ever.

Even the most literal interpretation of the bible dates creation (including man on the sixth day, btw) to at least 6,000 years.

And the Theory of Evolution has been prominent in public schools for a long damn time; half a century at a minimum. And it estimates modern humans have been present on this planet at least 200,000 years.

Nobody believes humans have been here merely 2,000 years. Even the most fundamentalist, snake-handling evangelicals reject that as horse shit. Just as they did 25 years ago.

There are ancient weed stashes way older than that. :-P

Son, I was there when they taught school 45 years ago. (Uphill, Both ways. In the snow. Barefoot. Hungry.) Even then we knew that the Venus of Willendorf was perhaps 26 thousand years old, which means George Burns probably knew the sculptor. cn

Oi, I take offense at that. I am a snake handler, not by trade but hobby (seriously!) Please don't put me in the same category as the nutters (those that believe in god, jesus etc),
 
They still give kids a choice in the south between young earth creationism and evolution lol

The only reason you might take offense is if you are a snake-handling evangelical.

I made no remark regarding garden variety snake-handlers such as yourself.

I was quite clear in my statement.
