Here is an interesting thought - you know how we hear about this place or that place deciding not to teach evolution in school or to give equal weight to the creation theory? I, for one, am glad about this. Not because I don't believe in evolution - I think it is one of the most important concepts to understand. No, I am glad because we will need more and more people to work in WalMart and fast food places in the future and these kids that come out of these schools are going to be the ones to fill those jobs. Plus it will mean less competition for my son when it comes to getting in to good schools.
It is not so much that these kids grow up not believing in evolution that means that they will end up in low paying jobs but that they will miss an understanding of the scientific method. If you believe that the theory of creation and the theory of evolution are on par then how will you ever be able analyze complex problems and make well informed decisions.
This is why I cheer on those school districts that discuss doing away with the teaching of evolution. Lets hope more schools embrace this idea.
