AntiGod education should not be compulsary (even for non wealthy)

Since the topic here is education and evolution, I'd like to know where you learned about evolution. I'm sure you actually believe that

evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics but most of all evolution hasnt been observed and im afraid no transitional fossil will be found.

That's nice, but where did you learn these things?

It might do you some good to read a book or two concerning biology and evolution. Are you satisfied that your physics teacher told you everything worth knowing about the history of life on Earth?

I'm still more interested in the educational background of the creationists here. Is it only an accident that most of them have precious little real experience learning about biology? Most of the evolutionists either work in the field or have studied extensively, and we are also familiar with creationist writers and their work. The creationists learn everything second hand and in a scattershot fashion.Some of the more educated posters from the creationist camp display a troubling messiah complex for their new favorite writer. It could be they just discovered Michael Behe, Phillip Johnson, Richard Milton, or some other scribe who's fired their imagination with an anti-Darwinian manifesto. The allegations made are assumed to be true, and any attempt to refute the argument is dismissed as ' desperate defense of an outmoded paradigm' or what have you.I agree people should think for themselves, and examine all the evidence available. But think, for crying out loud!

Ned,I'm more inclined to believe it's the pattern of learning. If someone reads widely about science and philosophy, they'll be more able to understand the subtleties of the debate and less likely to fall prey to Phillip Johnson double-talk. However, many tend to think that one source is all they need in order to approach the matter in an informed way. If someone doesn't like science enough to study it from different perspectives, they may end up with a narrow view of the subject as a whole.

I think you mean the percentage of people who answered the question correctly, i.e. answered 'no.' That's what table 7-10 leads me to believe.I agree, a mere 67% of grad students responding correctly is disgraceful. Did the other 33% do their post-grad work at Patriot College or something?[This message has been edited by MrHambre, 02-05-2004]
