Since neither the creationists nor the evolutionists were there when the world began, why are our schools teaching either set of beliefs, when there are so many hard facts that the schools are failing to teach?

Neither any LAPD officer nor any member of the Dream Team was there when Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman died. Why did the courts bother with OJ Simpson when there were so many cut-and-dried cases they might have handled?

Actually I think he is right on. Both sides of this argument have it wrong and maybe someday we will all know what really happened but I doubt it.

BTW, your comparison to the OJ Simpson case is just plain stupid.

I'm in agreement with that particular thought about evolution vs. creation is a dumb one, out of character, for the otherwise brilliant Sowell. The whole of science is practically about figuring out how the pieces go together when nobody around even knows what the completed picture looks like! It's an attack on science itself!

I agree with you.........when i read this line, it was like a light went on im my head....after sending 3 kids through the public schools, i have to say a truer statement cannot be made.... and if a demonstration is needed, go to any store with a young checkout clerk, purchase something for 5 dollars and some change, then hand the clerk a 20 dollar bill and a 1 dollar bill. stand back and enjoy!
