Refuting Evolution

[Chas]

To be honest, most people never use anything beyond basic math outside of the classroom.

I never have.

There's a big argument about this right now- do we really need to make kids take, for instance, Algebra II? Since basic algebra and some geometry will be all most people need in their lives, there's a line of thought that making kids take more is like making them take advanced chemistry.

Many math teachers, of course, disagree vehemently with this, since learning math is also learning how to think logically- they argue that the goal isn't learning the math itself, but learning how to think.

One needs far more than basic algebra and geometry to pursue a career in any science, finance, economics, software, engineering, and more.
