Your ignorance of the success of homeschoolers is remarkable considering that it is well known.
Since you are still relatively new here, you need to be aware that everyone has the right to ask for evidence whenever a claim is made. Someone's ignorance of a topic that is obvious to another does not equal "remarkable," especially when the topic is not so well known.

Re: Prove it!
Just curious. And sorry to jump in the middle of your conversation like this. How do we know that the six-day creation model is the truth and not any of the other thousands of creation models of the thousands of other religions?

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. How do we KNOW that the six-day creation model presented in the bible is truth and not any other religious text?
I believe there are absolutely the best rational reasons for this view of the Bible, but in the end everybody believes whatever they believe.
Would you, then, say that truth is subjective?

You can't know it by empirical proof. That's not how the Bible works. You either believe it or you don't.
Ok, let's go from here. How does the bible work? How does one come to the conclusion that the bible is the book of truth and not any other religious text?
Absolutely not. It is absolutely objective. You simply have trouble believing that true objective knowledge can be had by believing witnesses as much as by empirical evidence that can be demonstrated.
Ok, would you please illustrate how empirical evidence can be obtained to show that the bible is the book of truth and not any other religious text?
And what's ironic about this is that the ToE is not based on empirical evidence.
Ok, let us assume that the theory of evolution is wrong and there is no such thing as natural selection or genetic mutation. Ok? Based on this assumption, it should be simple for you to stick to the subject and not wander off again like this.
Thanks in advance for answering the questions.
