Because we're limited to working with objectively verifiable evidence, it's much easier to study the world than it is to study God. If God created the world, He probably didn't create anything that is contrary to His nature. That's true of biology as well as the other sciences. They are manifestations of God's creation, not contradictions thereof. Those who say that the discoveries of science are somehow in conflict with God have some re-thinking to do. (In my always humble opinion.)

Well stated!

You thin k the state of Math/Science education in this country is well and good?

Spending time debunking something when most students will graduate without understanding what a cell is is clearly a waste.

I read a few years ago where about 40% of the kids in high school couldn't find the Pacific Ocean on a map! (I kid you not - it was a Wall Street Journal editorial). And you expect rational discourse and debate in a science subject? At the high school level the best you can do is give kids a knowledge base on which to further build. Asking more than that is unrealistic, given our schools, and would only serve to further confuse.
