Talking Bout My G-G-Generalization

Should we treat fundamentalists as though they've completely missed out on their education or should we treat them as though they were part way through their masters degree in bio-engineering?
I dunno...would you want fundies to talk down to you and patiently explain that taking a fundamental stand on a belief can be thought of as more courageous than remaining so critically open minded that you never believe anything?(and only conclude that humans have not yet found an answer)
I see what you mean concerning science, however. I say talk down to the Fundies. Explain the science to them as if they were fifth graders.
