    An awful lot of things taught in grammar school are simplistically obtuse. Especially history and politics. Many young minds are not ready for complexities.
    Even our understanding of evolution is still evolving today.

    There's a point to the relationality evolutionary commonality in that chart. A religious person might point to the message that we should be kind to all of God's creatures because we are all in this together.

    And Bill, what you were taught in school is different than what I was taught. Our daughter wasn’t taught much of anything real in history other than the narrative of how bad we are. School has become a propaganda arm of the government, I’ll leave it at that. We made sure she knew the true history and how everything relates today. Just like the new math scam.

    Large scale evolution obviously has never been proven, That is why we should teach evolution in churches like other religions, not in schools. I'd settle for simply taking the lies out of the text books.

    Since we're without a way to prove or disprove the theory, it's kind of a dead end pursuit in a way. Adherents take it on faith in a similar way that theists internalize their belief systems. I'm more interested in the field of quantum mechanics, and why it's left out of high school curriculum. My guess is that it's because it flirts with the metaphysical realm, therefore is completely disregarded by the mainstream or relegated to pseudo-science.

    There most certainly is a way of proving Ernst Haeckels drawings are fake. We could simply compare them to the actual embryos.
