Note: Just to let you it is not that we don’t believe in things like that, it is just misleading when you talk about it being billions of years old, when we all know that the world is only about 6,000 years old. So why would I pay so that you can misslead my children, your world is just a revolving(?), ours has a start and an end. God created the world. He created animals and man all in the same week. It was also Adam who named all the animals, they will do the essay ‘Rock and Minerals’ but it might not be 5 pages long, and about billions of years, it will be according to the Bible

For cryin' out loud, just pull your stupid kids out of school already and stop being a drain on the teacher's time and patience. We all know you're not going to ever let your kids actually learn anything, anyway. So get them out of school, let them memorize Leviticus and then you and your whole family can just stay in a manger somewhere and leave the civilized world alone. OK?
"when we all know that the world is only about 6,000 years old."
Care to explain why the tree ring record goes back at least 11,000 years? Or why there is a living tree root system that is 10,000 years old?
"We all know" nothing of the sort. There are evidence of civilizations much older than 6000 years. If Adam and Eve were the first, and they had three sons, were did the wife for the sons come from? If your God is the only god, then he needn't say "you shall have no other gods before me".
In which language did Adam name all animals? In Hebrew, perhaps Greek, maybe Latin or Sumerian? NOT in English, that's for sure.

The Cty of Jericho for one. Not that clear evidence would ever convince these people.
"why would I pay so that you can misslead my children..."
Get them out of that Catholic college then; ASAP.
Nice way to keep your kids stupid and let them fail in school. If you don't like the evil atheist teachers teaching your kids evil atheist ideas, then why not homeschool? Oh, right, that would be the blind leading the blind.

And the grade will be FAIL.

Of course it won't be 5 pages long. You can only stretch the "goddidit" theme to be so long.
I feel very sorry for this person's poor child.
Also - tragically unsurprising that the note is barely coherent in terms of spelling, grammar, and sentence construction.
Yeah, and Sumer was deep in it's Urak period, , developing writing and government when your deity was creating the universe...

Well of course, silly: God purposely made the Earth appear older than it is to trick mankind into having to believe in him through faith.
Isn't it obvious? :)
The best part of this complaint is that nowhere in the permission form is the age of the earth ever mentioned. And "don't believe in things like that" is hilariously misleading. See, there is no antecedent given for "that." It looks like she's saying she doesn't believe in the existence of rocks and minerals.
Great, a young Earther. I never understood why they decide that there isn't a separation between Genesis 1.1 and 1.2
"1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
If you allow the gap, anything else can be metaphorical and suit the timeline (assume by "create" it is actually "introduce") and such....or not
There is really no hope to get through a grown fundie who thinks we call an Elephant an Elephant because Adam named them that. Infantile beyond the pale.
Do they really want the dictionary to have:
Elephant: The big gray thing Adam named Elephant, found in India and Africa
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
