  The Bible does not mention dinosaurs, nor does it mention fridge freezers or electric lighting so should we not believe in them?
  
  The article does not mention evolution, other than as background into Dawkins and yet this thread has taken them as the only point. Dawkins was making a point about the limiting effects of a solely faith based education on the pupils subjected to it. There is nothing in the Torah, Bible or Quoran that deals with any of the many day to day factors of modern living. By ignoring science pupils are being excluded from the facts of modern life. By being schooled only in single faith doctrine they are at risk of growing up only with those faiths more prejudiced views on morality, sexuality, personal relationships etc. They are also at risk of being taught that their particular religious texts are more important than common law.
  
  It is a wide subject and worthy of more wide ranging discussion than just a lot of bad jokes (and bad science - single cells are supremely adaptable).
