Students who understand Earth’s geological age are more likely to accept human evolution

A few years back I volunteered to help coach the local high school freshman football team. If you have experience in a sport and this kind of opportunity arises, take it, it was so much fun and so rewarding.

The worst moment that season was when I was in a SUV with a couple of the other coaches and their kids who were on the team. We were going to another town to watch the varsity play. From the back I heard one of the kids say that in a few weeks they were going to be studying evolution in biology class and that his mom was going to write him a note so he would be excused from class that week. “I didn’t come from a monkey,” was an exact quote I can remember.

So much I wanted to say, but I just bit my lip. I never could look at that kid or his father the same way after that.
