Was at least the first life form created?

First, I never said everyone who is home schooled is schooled that way for religious reasons. I'm simply saying it is a fact that many religious people home school to deny their children access to education that conflicts with their religious belief. If you do it because you think you can provide a better education, that's fine. But it's a well established fact that religious reasons are often a primary reason, especially among fundamentalists. I'm not hating on home schoolers, I think it's great if parents can do it. However, home schoolers are given different standards and don't have to take standardizing testing, so the statistics on home schoolers doing better is warped. To me that's a problem, and allows some (Note: Not all) fundamentalist religious home schoolers to fall way below basic education standards and deny their child good scientific education, of which the video was an example. I'm quite aware that video is not representative of every home school child everywhere.

Besides, I was only providing a general example about willful ignorance of science. It happens in many other areas, not just home schooling.
