LOL!

It's no wonder that U.S. kids are rated LOWER and LOWER in Science and Math when tested against the 30 industrialized countries of the world. I am referring to the TIMSS exam. The U.S. consistently sinks lower and lower. The U.S. is now around 28th place out of the 30 industrialized countries. Junk and pseudo science is nothing to be proud of not is it "rational". Objective evidence doesn't support it either.

Yes the 27 Industrial countries that are higher than the United States teach Evolution. The kids in those countries don’t have any of this creationist nonsense that’s dragging down ours.

Don't know what TIMSS exam you're thinking of. The latest results (2007) show US fourth graders at #8 out of 36, and eighth graders at #11 out of 48. And are you under the impression that the countries rating higher than us--Singapore, Taipei, Japan, England--don't teach evolution?
