Do you believe scholars armed with a public high school biology class made those discoveries? Having different priorities than you is not anti-science. If all public school kids are taught the same subjects then some effort should be put into teaching what is most useful to the most students. Evolution does not make that list. I don’t believe in Creationism/ID. I don’t believe in God. I do believe that this subject is a poor use of limited time.

You’d better believe that the lion’s share of the scientists who HAVE made bioscience discoveries or innovations began their bioscience education in public high school science classes that included evolution. Since most students won’t go into physics fields, either, perhaps we should not teach physics classes, either, and wonder what happened when we have no native born citizens to run our nuclear reactors or upgrade or man our nuclear deterrent.

The point is that believing in Creation has had ZERO negative impact on their wealth.

Yeah, and the Amish don’t drive automobiles, either, so perhaps we should dispense with public high school driver’s ed classes; right?
