I really find amusement any time creationists use food to "disprove" evolution since pretty much everything we eat from cows to wheat to bananas has been modified from it's wild type by artificial selection. I know science education in this country could be better, but the fact people are persuaded by these silly arguments makes me weep for the lack of proper history instruction in the classroom.

We have many intuitions in our life and the point is that many of these intuitions are wrong. The question is, are we going to test those intuitions?

I place as much if not more blame on the parents than the schools at is the parents responsibility for the education of their child. If my daughter is not being taught at school correctly it is my civic duty to challenge the school/school board. If more parents would do this, instead of copping out and neglecting there child's education we would not be in the sorry mess to begin with.

I agree completely. I suppose I should have just left off the "in the classroom" phrase from my post.
