No, it's the same 40% of Americans that have been unlucky enough to be born in families who think their fairytale is real and brainwash their children from birth to believe in Santa Claus.

Is it your sudden discovery tha Santa Claus was just a way to have fun that
turned you away from the truth of Christ because of your association between
the two? Don't you enjoy having fun?
Originally posted by SwissGambit Maybe we need to start debating these people. The article says 4 in 10 Americans believe in a 10K year old earth.
Americans are notoriously uneducated. I believe that 4 in 10 Americans also can't find the US on world map. I think it is a flaw in the education system that allows students to specialize too early and avoid the sciences altogether.
In Zambia, we have the opposite problem, everyone is educated on the assumption that they will be going to University even though less than 1% actually will.

I think our education system sucks because we have made it into a totally passive experience for the students. Forget this notion of specializing too early - we can't even get that far with our kids because we're boring them to death. We're fortunate if they're literate after graduating high school.

Don' you have magnet schools for the gifted students in your area?
Originally posted by kevcvs57 No I am pretty sure it was specifically christian dogma, what stake type burning's are you referring to?
Calvin burned a man at the stake, Michael Servetus for publishing a pamphlet on the
errors of the trinity (De trinitatis erroribus) which he held was a non Biblical teaching,
Tyndale was also executed for his opposition to the church and no doubt there are
many others.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie Haha, if only they had taught creationism when i was at school, I would have loved it! So would you!
in my school they did teach it
it was called religious education, and it was treated as such. not to mention it was an optional class, anyone could choose not to take it. in biology we learned facts, meaning evolution.
this situation would be similar to med school students learning how a patient could be healed by sacrificing a chikin in a voodoo ritual.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie you have failed to answer the question, do they or do they not use the same scientific
data?
They don't use anything yet, that is to be determined, the law was just passed a few days ago, nothing has actually been implemented as of today. I assume that will all start next semester, come September.

But in the US they want voters to vote for people like "W" and Obama and fiscal insanity, so it would stand to reason that education would be their mortal enemy. 😛
