Can anyone tell me why I was blatantly lied to when I was at school, many years ago & why children are still being lied to today?

The Bible totally contradicts the history of the Earth.

So did my RE teacher lie to me or did my history teacher lie to me? They can't both be right considering they are totally at odds with eachother.

perhaps you werent lied to -
perhaps they both couldnt read....
I was brainwashed by nuns and monks from the age of 7 to 17. They never taught us about Darwin.

No wonder I'm a Born Again Agnostic.

Oh, the monk teaching me had a Zoology degree
so we got Darwin in liberal (ha! geddit ?) quantities

that's Benedictines for you !
We were even lied to about Darwin as nobody mentioned the contribution of Wallace, his equal in evolution theory.
They aren't lying if they believe it to be true. But i think it should be taught as the old-fashioned myth it is, rather than given as "truth". If it were true, it would be part of the science lessons.
Oh PLEASE give best answer to Chewn. LOL LOL LOL
I was also taught by nuns from age 5. They instilled in me that if I didn't attend mass I would burn in hell. No escape as a child. Since the age of 15 I have never been inside a church.
On which day did God create the dinosaurs?
On the 5th day, along with all the other creatures.
Certainly not in my school. The bible's version of creation was never mentioned, even in RE classes. What 7 year-old would believe it to be true? A visit to the museums in Cambridge would soon prove the opposite, let alone reading the Oxford Junior Encyclopaedia or the Children's Encyclopaedia, both staples of the home and classroom.
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
They told me a fairy story
Till I believed in the Israelite.
All religions are invented and Christianity is no exception. You were told a lot of irrational stories about God, just as you were told fairy stories about Goldilocks, Cinderela, etc. Children are lied to all the time.

Rejoice that you have now seen the truth and encourage others to do the same. Religious people...you have nothing to lose but your chains !
Nobody lied to me - "Of course God didn't create in world in six days - it happened over millions of years" - and this was a nun in Ireland over fifty years ago.
Why are children still 'being lied to today'? Are you talking about the UK?
Over 95% of faith schools in the UK are Church of England or Roman Catholic, and neither of these religions have, in living memory, any problem with teaching Darwinian evolution.
The days were metaphorical.
Oh Sandy - another myth exploded!
