genuinely believed that Timisoara is the capital of France, and wrote that in a Geography term test paper - shouldn't the school be obliged to accept that for that student this is a correct answer?
isn't saying that timisoara isn't the capital of france just as bad as refusing to teach id in a science class?
(note to christians: the capital of france is paris).

No they shouldn't. Just because you believe something doesn't make it true.

It doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are when you are taking a geography or history test, or writing a term paper.
A religious answer like that is NOT a correct answer as the test is NOT a religious test, and you have to give the answer that is the fact according to the country involved. France and the French Government state that Paris is the capital of France, so the answer Timisoara on a Geography or History test is to be marked as WRONG!

Well, geography, and the fact of which city is capital, is a fact.
Regardless of what you believe, just like creation.
The only difference is, we don't know which one is true,
ID or BIG BANG EVOLUTION. (thought it looked better capitalized)
Anyways, if we honestly didn't know the capital of France, then the paper might be right, but since we have been there (some people in this time) and we have eyewitnes accounts and solid proof, we know.
You weren't there when he laid the foundations of the earth, or when the big bang grabbed all the dust in the universe (even though they say there was nothing in the universe) and then BANGED or when God banged it or whatever you want to believe.
Since you weren't there, it makes sense to show all the intelligent ideas on how it happened, heck we can have a whole class in school on this, and let the kids decide how they think we got here.

Firstly what a person being a Christian has to do with that question. Secondly Where is the logic in that question. Anyone can write a wrong answer in their test papers and get it marked wrong. That is as simple as abc. Only in narrative or descriptive answers can one hope to gain some marks for nearness of answers expected.
There is something terribly wrong in your question.
It is like, me saying to you .....
" Come & join me in my yesterday's dinner and discuss your question. My wife has cooked the fish that I caught in my tomorrow night's dream."
Absurd you feel, so is your qustion.

Geography and religion are different subjects. Just like science and religion. Teach ID in religious studies. Leave evolution in science.

No matter what a student might believe,if they are wrong,they are wrong.
ID has no place in a science class as there is no scientific evidence to support it.

Did you think you were funny? Did you realise that you were stereotyping Christians??

evolution is fantasy...so why should it be taught?
ID is fact, and by the way, we know the difference between fantasy and fact.
