They did?
I'm unaware of this.
If you are old enough to remember the differences of science and religious were of little concern until the late 70's. Since then with TV and the growth of fundamentalism science has been attacked. Many would discredit it in the schools and restrict knowledge. The number of students studying science has dropped and our world standing of high school performance in math and science has dropped from number one to 24 out of the top 25 countries in the world. We graduate but 70 thousand PH D's in math and science a year and more than half seek opportunity in other countries.
And you blame THIS on Creationism?
HMmmm...
I blame it on our fat, lazy, gimme attitudes instilled in our young, brought on by liberal politicians that almost to a man/woman are Evo's!
I don't remember even mentioning creationism or Christians in the post.
