If creationists took over education, there would be no science left to study. No new knowledge except that which would pass the religious censors.
Of course that w ...[text shortened]... eationists care less about that as long as their pitiful stories are proven by law, not science.
Originally posted by josephwI think it is your own poor education that leads you to think things have gotten worse. Can you post statistics for literacy at the time of the revolution and literacy now? Lets see if "what you've been told" has any relation to reality.
Then what was it that made it better in America when most people could read? From what I've been told most people could read at the time of the American revolution.
Originally posted by josephwYour theory is correct in the sense that Jewish people are the richest but actually, countries with less believers are richer.

It seems to me that the decline in education coresponds with the increase in atheism.
Bu ...[text shortened]... ally, and what is left behind are the strong who continue the cycle.
And so on and so forth.
Originally posted by josephwAt the time of the American revolution, the literacy rate was about 60%, 40 percent illiteracy rate. I think it is a BIT better now. But literacy rates are not the problem. The problem is the extensive bible belt states and the people fighting to force creationism to be taught as if (AS IF!) it were a science. That is not the only issue but one big one in my mind because I think if they win that battle in the bible states they will go on to try to be the science censors of America. Hell, that is what they are now. At least in their own addled brains.

Perhaps it isn't that American education has gotten worse but that education in other countries where atheism has risen has gotten better. And it's made worse by the fact that religion still plays a very big role in American day-to-day life when compared to many other Western countries.
Just a thought.
Originally posted by karoly aczelIt is easy for a scientist, who believes in a creator God to accept intelligent design in nature, because that is what he would expect. The atheist scientist has to keep reminding himself that it only has the appearance of design.

From May 30th, 2013
A recent meta-analysis of 90 studies on religious private schools, traditional public schools, and charter schools shows that students perform best academically and behaviorally when they attend religious private schools.

This totally unbiased individual? He is doing meta studies? Gee, what a coincidence he finds religious schools better.
