Why haven't I heard about this theory before? I tried then to read more about evolution. The more I read, the more I believed in it, and the more confused I became. I was trying to fit this idea together with the ideas I've been told during the past. I tried really hard. But I just couldn't.
So I gather that in Saudi Arabia (and, possibly, all the muslim theocracies around that area) schools don't teach science?
What do you guys learn in school?
Read (the kuran)?
Do simple math (for comerce)?
Handle guns?

Not sure about other countries, but we do learn math, physics and science in general. But when it comes to nature or the universe, what Minimalist's said is pretty much it.

You learn physics and science, but not nature and the universe...

Meaning(?)
You learn projectiles, pendulums.... plate tectonics? Volcanoes? water cycle?
But nothing even remotely close to general relativity, nor biology...?

Sadly, that usually makes things worse.

About the Educational system of Saudia Arabia.
I would like to say ironically : ممتاز (Excellent)

An educational system based on the religion.
