Teach a man to fish and you feed him forever. Teach a man to think he evolved from apes and ....?
- he'll act like one?
- he'll spend his time trying to convert you to his belief?
- he'll vote for rats (with a few frevo exceptions)?
- he'll need even more subsidies so he can travel the world to digs?
- he'll interpret everything he sees in evolutionary terms?
Well, if I wanted to manipulate the facts based on how I feared they might be used, I'd be a Dimocrat.
But here's some more outcomes to your scenario.
- he'll deepen his knowledge of genetics and be better able to cure disease.
- he'll be more awed by the complex mechanisms God has built to accomplish his plan for us.
A knife can be used to murder or to save a man's life in the jungle. Neither outcome is the fault or credit of the knife, but he who wields it.
"he'll deepen his knowledge of genetics and be better able to cure disease."I wouldn't mind as much evolution being a part of the supplementation for a medical degree or part of a genetics degree. But a degree in evolution? Sorry, that just seems like a waste of taxpayers money.
I'm not convinced that evolution adds anything to the study of genetics or medicine. In my opinion, evolution has done more harm than good in those fields. And it was afterall, the creationist, George Mendel, who discovered genetics.
