That is not what you claimed. You claimed that 80% support teaching creationism.

Creationism (55%), or Theistic Evolutionism (27%).

55% + 27% = 82%

Are you actually incapable of simple arithmetic? Really?

I wouldn't worry about it. Most fast-food places have registers which will do the math for you, these days. I'm sure you'll be fine.

And you seem to be blind to the fact that there is more than just education at stake here. The Free Market is not just education. It is what PRODUCTS and SERVICES you are going to provide WITH that education.

You just don't get it, do you?

Given the Economic choice, we will not send our children to Evolutionist Schools, REGARDLESS of your purported "Product Value" for Evolutionism.

It doesn't matter what "Product Value" you believe Evolutionism has, if Parents aren't willing to spend money teaching it to their kids. Given a Free Market educational system, Creationist Parents WILL NOT send our children to Evolutionist Schools, because we consider it a form of Child Abuse.

Evolution-Only Schools will die out, because the Parents, who have the Money, won't purchase their services.

Arithmetic and a HUGE assumption on your part that you can count on those 82% as being supportive of teaching creationism as an alternate or the only instruction in school.

Those that believe in theistic evolution (like myself) do NOT support teaching creationism in school.

So your “simple arithmetic” is only simple in that it is simple minded.

You just don't get it. As long as there is a Free Market demand for scientists there will be a Free Market demand for schools that teach science.

The Free Market doesn't demand that less popular ideas that pay off be eliminated just because they are less popular.

If the majority of Americans stop learning science, scientists will be trained by and hired by the minority of Americans that still seek to produce value using science.

Do you understand enough about the Free Market to understand that ideas that pay off, no matter their relative popularity, will continue to have a Market?

The Free Market demand for scientists will not go away, no matter how much you might wish it would. So long as there is a Free Market demand for scientists, there will be a Free Market demand for science education.

PARENTS who have MONEY (perhaps from their job as a highly trained scientist) will seek to purchase an EDUCATION that includes science; thus so long as there is a Free Market demand for scientists, schools that teach evolution will not die out.

Where do you think this Free Market demand for highly trained scientists is going to go? When ‘you and your kind’ outbreed everybody else, you wont need none of that stuff?
