re: #135 Ojoe

One would think that school kids are smart enough to make up their own minds when they see more than one explanation for things.

This whole debate is built on a disrespect for the intelligence of young people.

I am not young anymore, but were I, what amounts to the shouting in my ear by both sides of this debate would earn my huge scorn.

Bullshit.

Kids believe what they’ve been taught. Its our responsibility to teach them, to the best of our knowledge, what is factual, what has evidence to support it and what physical ‘truths’ affect us.

Throwing in something that has no evidence to support it and treating it as equal does them no favours.
