Adam and Eve walking with dinosaurs: teaching the Bible in public schools - deckeda - 05-09-2019 “In Steenbergen’s Bible class, the students hardly read the Bible at all. There is no classroom set of Bibles for every student, no encouragement to download a Bible app on their smartphones. He never assigns chapters or verses to read.

In it, he outlines how he avoids explicitly stating what certain verses say. Subversion with a smile. But it’s OK. The kids like it, the parents like it, and the lobbying group that’s helped get it all going really likes it.
