Superstitious behavior

It took a modern-day scientist, traveling back in time, to start the biological process that lead to the human race ..God was so angry with George Steinbrenner this year that the Red Sox won the world series ..forty vestal virgins are waiting for me in heaven if I blow up the world trade center. These are superstitious beliefs ..no more valid than a lunatic shouting that the world is gonna end tomorrow. Yet, this is what some people want their school districts to teach instead of science. Many doctors get their inspiration during childhood. When I see the medical breakthroughs coming out of genetics and evolutionary biology ..I think it would be a shame to let supernatural beliefs get in the way.

I agree. feeding dogmas instead of scientific explanations is the true bane of the modern day. more conflicts may be afoot. Digital divide needs to be bridged urgently.
You are as thoughtful as ever.
thanks!
