The Royal Society's embattled director of education has resigned, days after causing uproar among scientists by appearing to endorse the teaching of creationism in science classes.

Professor Michael Reiss, a biologist and ordained Church of England clergyman, agreed to step down from his position with the U.K.'s national academy of science after it decided his comments had damaged its reputation.

His resignation follows a campaign by senior fellows of the august institution, led by a Nobel prize-winner, who were angered by Professor Reiss' suggestion that science teachers should treat creationist beliefs "not as a misconception but as a world view."

Sir Richard Roberts, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1993, described such views as outrageous, and organized a letter to its president, Lord Rees of Ludlow, demanding that Professor Reiss be sacked.

Phil Willis, the chairman of the House of Commons Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Committee, was tomorrow due to meet Royal Society officers to demand an explanation of his comments and the academy's position.

The beatitudes according to me and the Libronix digital Bible and dictionary.com and God

Th Beatitudes in my words...

And Jesus looked up and he saw tons of people, so he and the disciples went up on the mountain and sat down to get comfy. After he sat down he started teaching, and he said, "Happy are the humble, because they are on God's will, they get God's stuff. Happy are the sad, for they won't be sad anymore. Happy are the people who let people push them around, for they get the earth. Happy are those who long to be friends with God, for he will grant them that. Happy are those who love there enemies, for they will receive love back.

Aprils Definition of Anarchy

Sorry I'm not sure if this is the right blog or not.

Definition:

The absence of government, the state of society where there is no law or supreme power; a state of lawlessness;political confusion.

View: I do not think that this is a good idea because without any government or laws how would this place function? It wouldn't, at least not well anyways. It would probably be mahem.
