Should students receive education on logical fallacies?

Should students be educated on logical fallacies and illogical statements etc BEFORE being exposed to the whole evolution/creation debate?It seems like more and more people are buying into strawmen, argument from incredulity, argument of ignorance, probability, and flat out lies than ever before...Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Fixed typo and added "?" in topic title. Changed "s" to "S" at sentence 1 beginning and fixed some typos/spelling errors. Added the "It" to the begining of the second sentence.

sorry, please excuse my spelling errors.. it's kinda late here and i'm getting drowzy, loli'll be willing to re-write this if/before it's accepted

the problem with advanced stats et al.. and i can attest to this.. it's that it's ****ing HARD! there are some complex concepts and algorithms involved.. i think if they note that REAL stats is much more than flipping a coin (and maybe scare students with an example from a proper stats class) they'd realize just how hard to truely understand statistics really are

i realize it's value as a life skill i was merely trying to limit discussion to the parameters of what i thought the forum was aboutsadly the election didn't bring doubt about the AVERAGE american voter... but the MAJORITY of american voters
