Yes I can envision the next generation, home schooled, or schooled in ID junk science, directing America technology.
The net result of such thinking leads to hiding in caves and praying to god for deliverance from your enemies smart bombs, as we have seen in Afghanistan.
lol - funny - such enlightened observation ignores the role that Christian scientists have played throughout history. Typical of modern day revisionist thinking.
So can I. Isn't it refreshing to have a reason for confidence! Thanks for your encouraging post.
I follow these threads as a pure lurker. I find it interesting that many comments from the evolution side tend to be immature personal attacks like the one above. Occasionally, I will read a good discussion between two intelligent scientists on this issue, but I do not expect one from this poster.
I have just one key comment here: if it is the case that America looses its technological edge because of poor schooling, it sure will not be because of home schooling or Christian schooling. It will be due to public schools. Many non-Christians put their kids into Christian schools for the better education. If you really care about teaching kids, why do you not focus on the problem. I dare you to get involved in a local public school. If you really are a scientist (atheist, Christian, whatever), you will probably be amazed and appalled. My background is in mathematics, and I am saddened by todays graduates.
Come talk to this father of seven home-schooled children........and an AF Academy grad, former SAC aircraft commander, you little pissant.
