[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 933947, member: 7966"] The purpose of the education is to present to the students a variety of subjects whose knowledge will help them become active contributors to society. When I went to school in the rural deep South which was so much more conservative than anything you are exposed to today. We were taught evolution but church teachings were discussed too. People are going to believe what they want to believe and I have not heard anyone asking that evolution not be taught and replace it with Creationism. I was taught Pluto was a planet and now it is not. I believe that anyone that believes in Creationism does so at a faith level and if that is taught, the students will ignore the irrationality of it. Much as we do with the beliefs we are taught at work. You are aware that Creationism was and is taught to many people over the last 50 years and that these people function and contribute to Society? Anybody that believe half the stuff they are taught in government schools 50 years ago or today are fools anyway so it doesn't really matter what you teach them. BTW - I do not believe in Creationism in any form - it is simply people trying to reconcile the "infallibility of the written word of the Bible" against the objective analysis of the observed world. I don't know your age but by the time one is 30 or so, they have replaced all the garbage they learned in school with real life observations - theory only goes so far. That is, unless they are involved in the school system. Teachers teach and do'ers do. The Dept of Energy was formed in 1977 and most nuclear power plants were built by then. Revert back to the means by which the US managed nuclear materials prior to the formation of the Department of Energy. The problem with forming National Departments is that the things they regulate/control become increasingly politicized and bureaucratic which means wasteful spending. [/QUOTE]
