Is It Just Me? (Part 2)

After some thought, I decided that it MUST be a mistake.  Perhaps a page was taken from a Sunday School book, with out really paying attention to the content....you know?  So I emailed my concern to the Religious Education office  This was the response I got:

Hello Mrs. Easilypersuaded,

I can definitely understand your concern regarding the homework because,
at first glance, it does seem that the sheet is placing the Bible and the
theory of evolution as contradicting each other. However, it also puts the
history of man and philosophy in the same group as the theory of
evolution, and obviously the history of man and philosophy are fields of
study recognized by the Church, just as the theory of evolution is. I
think the point that the homework is trying to make is not that these
fields of study are contradiction with the Bible, but often times are used
to replace Bible. Just like we often put ourselves before others, there
are many people who consider the study of history, philosophy, or
evolution to be more important than the Bible. And they replace the Bible
with these fields of study, when, in fact, they should be used together to
study the world.

So, I would take this as an opportunity to discuss this with your child
and help them to gain a proper understanding of how the Bible and science
should work together and not one without the other.

If you have any more questions or concerns, please let me know.

Thank you,

Mr. Convincing
Religious Education Office

Now I am MORE convinced that it was a mistake...because who would think teaching Replacement Theology to kindergarten students was age appropriate?  Did he miss the part where it said "Match the Opposites?" but that's right...a 5 year-old can make that leap:  it doesn't really MEAN opposite...it's a replacement...duh!

It's okay to admit to mistakes.  And since we are being honest...those are not actual last names.  But seriously, Convincing would be a pretty sweet last name....
