As most of you rationally-thinking people on the forums, there is a mountain of evidence supporting the Darwinian Theory of Evolution.
As of now, we know of fourteen species of hominin (this number is disputed). The facial structure of tetrapods is undoubtedly similar to that of fish (eyes on top, nostrils in middle, and jaw on the bottom). All living organisms share nucleic acid to some extent.
The list of evidence expands far past just those three statements.
But my point isn't to inform you upon what most of you already know.
To start out, I live in the United States. Within the United States, about forty-six percent of adults are Young Earth Creationists, which not surprisingly, scares me. To believe in such ridiculous stories created by ignorant, illiterate desert dwellers at this point in history is completely unbelievable.
That is over two in five adults, which is completely inexcusable.
I place the blame directly towards the US Education System.
You see, being thirteen, I know how it is. They have to respect religion despite how laughably stupid it is. My belief is that schools do not do enough to properly teach evolution.
As rude as it is, teachers have to tell the children that creationism is outdated myth created by men whom were unable to properly explain the world around them.
I mean, teachers are allowed to refute alien conspiracies, chemtrail conspiracies, apocalypse conspiracies, astrology, and various other forms of pseudoscience.
Yet not anything religion-based.
You tell me, what are your thoughts, ideas, and comments upon this topic.
Also, how would you improve the education system if you possessed the power to do so?
