A guy gave this presentation thing about dinosaurs, and another one tried to "correct" him by saying dinosaurs couldn't be older than 6000 years because the earth is only that old. I said, quote "Creationism is a joke". He and some other guy got buttmad and I got lectured after class by an administrator for "saying offensive things that suppress other students' beliefs", and said next time I'd be written up for harassment and/or disrupting class. This administrator happens to be the wife of a deacon at the church my family goes to.
At least my teacher was cool about it.

Such tippery. For the record, you were calling out [i]young earth [/i]creationism, that term is important since many creationists are theistic evolutionists.
-
OP just thinks all Christians think the earth is 6000 years old, nothing to see here.

What grade is this? Usually, once you get to college, you no longer have to respect everyone's various superstitions in biology classes.

*tips fedora* :^)

This happened in real life
-
Your teacher was right. You shouldn't have tried to provoke other students and let your teacher handle the situation.
-
Wow, that sucks. Are you still invited to his birthday party?
-
Well you did 'offend' a student by yelling out. The teacher had grounds to write you up. I just wish we could debate these things and get this petty bullshit over with. The Earth is very obviously older than 6k and tons of evidence debunks that hypothesis. Ideally, you'd be given an opportunity to prove this student wrong.
-
You should of called him the product of a botched lobotomy and told him he's gone incoherent.
-
What is with you Americans? I spent 12 years of my life in [i]Catholic school[/i] and nobody ever said anything stupid like that.
-
You should have yelled "freedom of speech bitch" and walked awak from the administrator.
-
Did you throw your fedora at him after you said that? /joke
-
When people say things which are -blam!-ing retarded, people should be allowed to call them out on it. It'd be like if someone said vaccines cause peanut allergies. You can call them out on how -blam!-ing retarded they're being.
-
Edited by LowIQPlayz3445: 4/8/2014 4:30:01 PMThere is no -blam!-ing way the earth is only 6000 years old. We have proof it is much older. It would be nice if people did research before spouting nonsense. The world would be a much better place because of that.
-
Really? That stupidity is not looked down upon in a f*cking Zoology class?
-
Technically the teacher is right. You were insulting. Now, I am an atheist. Let's get that right out. You should have been more respectful in your disagreement. Yes, you are right, and YES they were wrong. But show respect for them. They likely still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and all sorts of imaginary things. You can't scoff at them any more than a child. In fact, treat them like children. Just say, I'm sorry, but the evidence backs up evolution. and leave it at that.
-
You're a badass
-
Jesus Christ, I consider myself very liberal when it comes to a lot of things. But Young Earth Creationism, climate change denial and intelligent design shouldn't be tolerated in intelligent discourse.
-
People can be so very stupid.
-
Well. Simply put, they can't tell you [i]not[/i] to say it either, under the same "logic" he told you. Just another example of religious folk contradicting themselves.
-
Well, if we go by that logic, then technically the fellow who commented first was doing the exact same thing. Did you try bringing that up?
-
Edited by Cultmeister: 4/8/2014 6:18:18 PMIf you're gonna get pissy about other people's religious beliefs in school, don't do it within earshot of a teacher. It's your own fault for not being able to control yourself.
-
Why did you get in trouble? It is a joke. You were correcting an idiot who tried to incorrectly correct another student. You should have complained that the dumbass religious student was hindering the learning environment by talking about fairy tales.
-
I would have just busted out laughing at that kid. There is one aspect of Christianity I do not tolerate and that's Young Earth Creationism. It is so -blam!-ing stupid that my head hurts just arguing with them.
-
So you got in trouble for expressing yourself, yet the other person didn't? America is fricking weird.
