South Korea surrenders to creationist demands

>Mention creationism, and many scientists think of the United States, where efforts to limit the teaching of evolution have made headway in a couple of states1. But the successes are modest compared with those in South Korea, where the anti-evolution sentiment seems to be winning its battle with mainstream science.

>A petition to remove references to evolution from high-school textbooks claimed victory last month after the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) revealed that many of the publishers would produce revised editions that exclude examples of the evolution of the horse or of avian ancestor Archaeopteryx. The move has alarmed biologists, who say that they were not consulted. “The ministry just sent the petition out to the publishing companies and let them judge,” says Dayk Jang, an evolutionary scientist at Seoul National University.

>The campaign was led by the Society for Textbook Revise (STR), which aims to delete the “error” of evolution from textbooks to “correct” students’ views of the world, according to the society’s website. The society says that its members include professors of biology and high-school science teachers.

This is the head of a plesiosaur. Dinosaurs arent millions of years like were told. Notice the smiling mouth and eye holes above the mouth and the elongated neck stretching out.
There have been many sightings of sea monsters by captains and crews over the last 5 centuries. some even swearing in their ship journals not to tell anybody as they were afraid to be ridiculed! The stories are given in Shipwrecks and Sea Monsters, available from CSE of Kent Hovind.
By the way "scientists" did not immediately rush in to secure and study the body, as their duty is, but preferred to let it rot and wash away by the sea. If it had been a missing link it would have been headlines for weeks. What keeps these scientists from doing their jobs? You wonder.

I can't recall any south korean contributing anything to paleontology, biology or medicine.

Not teaching them evolution isn't going to make them less productive in the relevent disciplines.

Evolution is part of a public school brainwashing program. There is no real evidence for evolution.

A Scientific Critique Of Evolution http://www.trueorigin.org/spetner1.asp

Peer reviewed scientific paper shows there hasn't been enough time in the history of the universe for evolution to take place.
Journal BIO-Complexity, "Time and Information in Evolution," Winston Ewert, Ann Gauger, William Dembski, and Robert J. Marks, II once again show that a mathematical simulation of evolution doesn't model biologically realistic processes of Darwinian evolution at all.

Clearly part of the Jewish evolutionist conspiracy, just like Muslims, birth control and 9/11

Both countries have extremely high rates of non-religious male genital mutilation of infants. Coincidence?

>About half of South Korea’s citizens practice a religion, mostly split between Christianity and Buddhism.
>However, a survey of trainee teachers in the country concluded that religious belief was not a strong determinant of their acceptance of evolution
