    I love question 18: "if someone says the earth is billions (or millions) of years old, what can you say?" answer: "were you there". I would retort with: "If someone says god created everything 6,000 years ago, what can you say?" my answer: "were you there?" Next semester: The Earth is flat and why scientists are wrong. The Moon is made of cheese- 101 proofs from the Bible.

    I've got to love the mind-numbing "reasoning" of fundamentalists:

    For example, I have never been to the moon. So if someone tells me the moon is not made of cheese, I'll say, "How do you know? Have you ever been there?" End of dialogue, self-righteousness in tact, door closed, back to prayer.

    All that I love and cherish is protected by this elegant retort.

    So sorry Dazed, my brain is mush, the documentary is Jesus Camp. Yes, nothing like what I said.

    It's true. Education in the US is about dumbing down children and shaping their attitudes, and it gets harder to find young people who actually have reading and math skills.

    The goal of most "education" is to turn them into ballot cattle for one of the two warring camps, both of which want to create compliant serfs.

    Just funny that the wing nuts like Hannity and Rush are for THIS kind of education. But god forbid those darned liberal college professors teach classes on science and math.
