That is not true or representative of what is going on to.be fair.
Creation is and will.be taught in british schools, but will and is taught in religious education classess, just not science class.
This is because creationism is not science. Science is a 5 step mechanism of.observing the universe, seperated into 3 specialities: physics, chemistry and biology.
There is no evidence confirming a creation story, nevermind any one in paticular such as in the Bible, Koura etc.

There is NO equivelant in the atomic world. I think you have misunderstood jgnat's answer to you...
There are laws at play. Check your nighstand for a book on those atomic forces.
P.s. prologos, I mean this sincerely, I have seen your comments change over the last 2 months you are becoming FAR more informed and it is very rewarding to see. I don't mean this in a patronising way, I mean it sincerely. Please keep looking for answers, your age and your current beliefs are irrelevant to me, you are a human that deseeves to know all that is possible to be known in 2014. I wish someone had pointed me in the direction of books thats why I do it, it is not an insult. Books a d information are the best gift somone can provide. I truly belive that. You have great questions, but we have great answers.

Science proves there is a God
by seekchristonly infusion with god natural .
in the cosmos universe or whatever.
all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.

seek, you changed the wording, removing the most embarassing element....
faith is assured expectation for....THINGS HOPED FOR.
very different to.....for THINGS TO COME.

These comments say much about the people making them. Ironically they use the nomenclature of 'belief' and 'faith' as dirty words to try and annoy non believers.
You have decided to believe in a magical sky god, with a beard and powers. That's cool, have some bravery and admit it and admit it proudly. But don't then pretend like it isn't a monumental claim to have,by pretending it is equivelant to denying such a being exists.
By calling everyone that denies your deity 'believers' and 'religious' you are simply reducing your intellectual perspective to a school yard at break time..."I know you are, but what am I"
It is hard enough already to preach your beliefs in 2014 as your deity commanded you to, without declaring everyone that doesn't believe as believers. You are simply pushing them/us away further by outright lying. We KNOW we are neither religious or believers, how more technically inaccurate can you get when we deny the existence of a deity and mock the folly nature of faith. Hello.....
We know you understand our position, you are simply trolling, or sadly worse, ignorant beyond saving.
I think it says more about how YOU view a 'believer' in 2014 than we atheists do, by using it as a slur. I respect believers, not their beliefs. Why not simply do the same in return and respect our NON BELIEF even if you don't respect our reasons for it.

Donation of blood fractions
by why144000 inthis may be the wrong area for this but here goes.. if you went to a bank and told them " i don't have an account with you, i never will have an account with you and i will tell people you are a terrible bank" then ask not for a loan from them, but a gift of a lot of money, how do you think they would respond?.
yet, witnesses now have the the ability to take blood fractions from the blood bank without ever contributing to the blood bank.
there is a process that the blood bank takes just the plasma from a donor to be used for fractions only.

Wild thing, sadly not, the person that said it was my brother. He was never stupid, but he has been dumbed down with indoctrination. Despite a bachelor in medicine and surgery he decided the governing body knew more than me and called me a liar, simply for informing him that blood fractions came from blood.
8 window cleaners in new york he can't even name and will never be allowed to call liars, had more authority than a medically trained sibling.
Welcome to cult life!

Even things we think are of no use are in fact useful.
Random, difficult math, when we learn it, forms new neuronal pathways in our brain. Those problem solving pathways may prove useful when problem solving other issues, be it managing people, looking for a pattern in a faulty piece of equipment...etc etc.
Our brains absorb and restructure based on what it experiences. By forcing our brains to do math or geography or physics or language etc etc we are making neural connections that have many, many usefull traits. It isn't just about the facts and skills we learn when doing these things, we are literally rewiring our brains when we do so.

Wasn't talking to you prologos...
But if you are keen to catch the ball, the reference to being lazy is attached to the most basic concepts of science and energy. A trip to the library or 5mins on the amazon book section would result in resources that would allow you to see why these comments are unscientific and inaccurate.
Lazy because we have spoken about these things for years now and yet the same people clearly haven't even read the first chapters of a basic science book. To me, for someone that wants to take their spiritual beliefs into the science realm, the very least to do is read a science book....
Disagree?
Without doing so, how do you even use the words 'science' or 'energy'? It is first important to realise what these words mean.
I am tired of seeing the same peolple argue science and complex physics without the most basic understanding of these highly complex areas. I know my limitations in these area and I know I know nothing.
As for the definition of 'nothing', they are following the evidence, not intuition, not what feels right to us, not what is logical etc etc. Our understanding of the word nothing has no connection whatsoever to do with the reality of what nothing may represent, if we are calling the pre-big bang conditions 'nothing'.
Let's be honest, we can't even define 'nothing'. We can't even give an example of nothing. It is an arbitrary concept ast best, as we in our ignorance think of it, but....it may be totally irrational as a concept in the first place.
How is it possible for nothingness to exist? It is just as unintuitive as assuming there is no such thing as nothing. So rather than use gut feelings, let's wait for the data and evidnece. Krauss does it for a day job, we don't.
I don't want to talk god with you prologos, but for me, simply saying god came from nothing, is infinite and had no beginning.... is neither helpful, evidence based or interesting. I am not assuming you assume this, but from your past comments it may be the case. Anyway, I see no reason why your god is attached to the concept of nothingness, cosmology or the big bang. There is certainly no evidence for a god so far.
Krauss is working with math and evidence, for me, that is where my interest lies.
