I agree; the average student probably doesn't care. The average *person* probably feels s/he has "better" things to worry about. However, one mustn't get one's opinion of all teenagers from MTV. I feel I must defend myself and my fellow involved teenagers. (I debated about whether or not to reveal my youth, fearing that it may be used against me in the future, but I decided to assume the best about everyone here, and I am sure I made the correct decision!)
I, for one, volunteer at a science museum where I help prepare fossils and educate the general public about topics such as evolution. I'd just like people who frequent this board to know that there are teenagers out there who aren't as ignorant as we are usually portrayed. I'm not a scientist but I am generally well-prepared enough to enter into logical debates with creationists and evolutionists alike. And I also am disturbed by people, including teenagers, who believe in direct creation, or anything else, "because."
That said, lovely to meet you all! I look forward to our discussions.
