"CREATIONISM" A Threat to Human Rights ? ? ?

Every religion, culture and tradition has got it’s own creation stories, beliefs and traditions which has been handed over from generations to generations through various sacred writings, literatures and oral traditions. It is very clear and obvious that there are not any specific and concrete scientific proofs for creationism, at the same time, as it has been reported by the European Centre for Law and Justice against the statement made by the European Council “The report does not respect the freedom of expression of teachers, researchers and students as manifest in academic freedom, because it seeks to eradicate an alternative to the Darwinian model of the origin of life, there by elevating the theory of evolution to scientific dogma, while the majority of scientists have concluded that evolution is the soundest theory concerning the origins of life, ‘scientific truth is not proven by consensus”

Therefore, it is very clear both Creationism and Evolution theory does not have sound scientific proofs, but both are based on certain convictions and beliefs about the origin and development of life on this earth and the settings of the cosmos.

This body is seriously concerned that creationism is not only a threat to their secularized educational systems, but to democracy itself. Human rights could be endangered, the Council claims, if the continent is "not careful." But at the same time, does the European Council has taken sufficient measures to face the burning issues of Iran and brutal killings of the Buddhist monks in Burma, in which human rights has been taken to the burial grounds. Along with these I would to add few other important problems mostly faced by Europe and USA in which, children’s rights have been neglected such as, the enormous number of abortions, child trafficking, child abuse, use of drugs in the schools, children ads and etc. More over UK parliament is pressured to permit the creation of half-human and half-animal embryos for scientific experiments and is it not a danger to the human rights and democracy? Therefore, it is highly illogical and ridiculous that the European Council is trying to say that Creationism is a danger to human rights and democracy.
