Home schooling.

I was appalled by the story on the Fox news website. I personally don't believe in home schooling unless the parent who is doing the teaching is qualified ( as in has a teaching degree). The story on the text books was very eye opening but I was not surprised, I understand that some Christians don't think of evolution as a real fact, Many things in the Bible are historical fact. But like many in science they do ignore evidence. Science has said that there was no Advanced culture of Civilization on earth before 3000 BC. Evidence of which has been coming to light over the last 2 century's. Do I personally believe that the earth is just 6000 years old No. Do I think that humans with the same brain size as we do spent 100,000 years in caves with little advancement and in just 5000 years have reached the stars, No. Do I believe that spiritual faith is a great comfort to Billions in this world yes. History has also shown bloody conflicts over religion. Most evangelicals need to look back 600 years and see the Bloody wars and massaacre's between Christians in Europe. Maybe they would be less likely to argue and try to impose 1 version of God upon others. This is just my opinion, But it would be a wise thing if people would look beyond small and irrelevant bickering to see the big picture. Science isnt perfect but neither are Beliefs based on a 3000 year old collection of text written by people with a limited world view to the exclusion of everything else.
