A thread that’s quite relevant to what I was just saying about the impossibility of believing the dogma, and the strangeness of the fact that the impossibility goes unmentioned.
That. You can repeat the nonsense all day long, but you cannot state the truth.
It’s utterly bizarre.

So I take it they’re forbidden from stating that the earth is a sphere.
They can, but if they state that it’s an oblate spheroid they’re on k.p. for a month.
As soon as it’s clear that there are sides in Earth-shape discourse, yes they’re forbidden to state facts. Until flat Earthers (or cube Earthers, or isocahedron Earthers, etc.) are a politically relevant group, they don’t constitute a side, and the BBC is permitted to state facts.
At least the creationists were willing to “teach the controversy.” (I was going to insert some sort of punchline but the sad fact is that idiot creationists were more open-minded than TRA’s. And they could have instantly veered into how denying their creationist myth was denying the “existence” of creationists, if not the “genocide” of creationists.)
And I don’t think we should treat creationism as science. Just like I don’t think we should teach genderism as science.
Last thing: I’ve actually tried to discuss the gender cult with two liberal-progressives (on two different occasions). They both smiled at my questioning and said “It’s complicated” before seeming to just not listen to anything else that I said.
@Mike,
I was wondering who was going to be the first pedant.
