Well this was the topic of one of my General RE lessons at college. I go to a Catholic college and so 50mins of RE each week is compulsory, however it is mainly just debating. In class this week we had to go and sit underneath one of three banners, each on a different wall.
We had to choose between THEIST (belief that one (or more) God(s) exist, AGNOSTIC (unsure about existence of a God or Gods) or ATHEIST (believe that there is no God).
I sat under atheist. We then had to give reasons for our belief and basically ended up debating over why we believe the things we did. Surprisingly for a Christian college, the Theists were the minority. Anywho, the lesson ended before I could really finish my point completely.
We had got onto contradictions in the Bible, and then evolution etc. Basically debated all things religious. And someone said "There is no evidence for evolution." And I actually lol'd. That sparked what was verging on an arguement. Discuss this statement.
Also, my teacher who is Christian and prays to God then went on to say that she believes that God will not intervene with the lives of humans, and then prays to him for help. And if that isn't a contradiction then what is?
I thought this was an interesting debate in the class, and came to see what you guys thought of it, and give your views.
