The evos keep telling us that the people making claims are the ones who are supposed to provide evidence to support those claims; that that is the way science is done.

Well, if you’re going to claim that teaching creation in schools as it was done for centuries is going to cause the US to fall further behind in science and harm science education in this country, you ought to be providing evidence to back that up instead of throwing out baseless, unsubstantiated claims and expecting people to take them at your word.

I’ve provided evidence to show that those schools (private and homeschool) provide better educations than the public schools. Any private or homeschool that uses ABeka or Bob Jones teaches both. One of the main reasons that homeschooling exploded as it did was the evolution only and no God dogma of the public school system.

The main argument of the evos is that teaching creation is going to hurt public school science education. Show it.

I'm interested in what you posted about teaching evolution being the reason we've fallen behind other countries in science education. If that's true, then other countries that are teaching evolution as science are ahead of us in science education.

If that's true then we should have some good, objective evidence to provide in support of teaching creationism by showing which coutries those are, and how they are ahead of us in science education. Which countries are those, and how is teaching creationism as science making their students better scientists than ours?
