The fact remains that 90% of homeschoolers are Christians and they are smarter than the atheists churned out by public schools. You have failed to answer many of my challenges to you, and until you do, there is no point in going forward. I am STILL waiting for your evidence as to how information is added to the genome or how the first protein molecule self-assembled. Indeed, your faith in evolution is a non-rational leap, as you have no evidence at all to hold up these essential pillars of darwinism.

90% of homeschoolers may be Christian, but I think the number is more along the lines of 70% now, and the last survey of homeschoolers showed that only 60% did it because of religious reasons. I of course am NOT part of that 60%.

The fact still remains that you CANNOT prove that evolution did not happen. Just as you cannot prove that creationism happened.

We have fossil records and DNA that show that all life on earth is related.

I have no idea how the first life formed on this planet, I have no idea how DNA was added to the genome, but the fact remains that it is what most likely occurred. Just because we do not know how or why it happened now, does NOT mean that we will not know in the future.

Just as we did not know how to travel into space 60 years ago, just as we did not have a clue as far as DNA was concerned 50 years ago. Just because we do not know now, does NOT mean that we will not know in the future.

The Theory of evolution is still the BEST scientific theory to explain how we became what we are. There are still many questions, but they will be answered, or the theory will be tossed out and a new one put in it's place. It's just that easy.

Your problem is, you have NO proof that creation took place at all. All you have is a book and a creation myth called genesis that tells you that that is the way it happened.

You say "goddidit" and are satisfied, that's all well and good, but that is religion, and religion is for the home and family, NOT for public school. Goddidit is not satisfactory to me, nor to most scientists.

Again, GOD CANNOT BE PROVEN SCIENTIFICALLY, or else science would use it. and Until God comes down and says, "I did this" you have no proof whatsoever for your creation myth.

At least with evolution, it has made conclusions, and so far those conclusions have proved correct. You creationists like to toss around a lot of garbage about how MOST scientists etc don't believe in evolution. That claim is patently false, MOST scientists, 99% of them, believe in the theory of evolution and use it to do their work, Biologists, Geneticists, chemists even use it. If it did not make sense or was totally wrong, they would not be able to the work they do. They use the Theory of evolution in their daily research.

So keep on lying, because that is what you are doing. The theory works, and it's conclusions have so far rung true, and will most likely continue.

I have science and most of the scientific community to back me up, you have a book, a book that is VERY questionable by the way. But that is for another discussion.

I homeschool because I wish my children to be secure, be able to think, have knowledge, and not be used as political pawns in power games by Christians, politicians, atheists, feminists, gays etc etc ad nauseum.

My children are mine, not the states, and you and I agree that it is our job to make sure that our children are not perverted and dumbed down by the disgusting indoctrination system they call public schools in this country.

You do it for religious reasons, I do it for personal and political ones.

This "fact" is making a terrible assumption. Homeschoolers are better educated on average than the public school products, this I will not disagree with. However, a parent who has the time and resources to teach their children will almost always surpass the quality of education provided by the state. Let me restate your theory in a few different ways: The fact remains that 90% of homeschoolers are smarter than the Christians churned out by public schools. The fact remains that 90% of homeschoolers are Christians and they are smarter than the Christians churned out by public schools. The fact remains that 90% of homeschoolers are Christians and they are smarter than the average student churned out by public schools. This whole thing is a function of homeschooling and available parents, not religion. You are making the absurd hypothesis that Christianity makes people inherently more intelligent.
