well Harrier, my point about GEDs was nuanced sarcasm, many dont even have that yet alone H.S. I used to live there in a university town. The rural areas utilize home schooling.
In other words - you don't have support for your claim that many parents who home school their children don't have high school diplomas.
If you are going to call something a fact - you really should be prepared to support it.
A GED is not a high school diploma - we are discussing high school diplomas.
However I will give you the benefit of the doubt. You now have the opportunity to provide a source that will verify your assertion that many people who homeschool their children in Tennessee do not have either high school diplomas or GED's.
I will be waiting for your evidence.
After all - you said that this was a fact.
Facts should be verifiable.

You are demanding sources from others yet never provide any sources for your own assertions?
Throughout history, religious have been some of the finest science teachers
I understand you hate those with religious beliefs -
No, you don't understand at all...I have no hate in me, but to base society, and education on ancient myths in my opinion is just wrong, and has been proven to be a big mistake in the past, and is still a mistake....Never mind history, what about now and the future..Nearly half of U.S. scientists today say they have no religious affiliation -- describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or nothing in particular -- compared with 17% of all Americans.
Macro-evolution and micro-evolution. Two terms made up by creationist when they basically admitted that they lost the argument.
Exactly, the only difference between the two is time...macro evolution is merely micro evolution over many generations....Anyone who cannot understand this is not very bright.

These are people who think the earth is only 6 to 10,000 years old.
You provided links to a pro-evolutionist propaganda website.
Actually, the first site is a site that looks at CREATIONISM and Evolution together (and breaks down their individual beliefs and tries to provide evidence for each). And we know you didn't read the two papers I linked because, it would have taken you at least a couple of days.
This only proves that you are not interested in a debate but rather argue from ignorance.

Provide some reliable links and I will take the time to read through them.
that is your job bucko. I've provided links that show evidence that evolution is real. that you are using Creationists tactics about what macroevolution is (you aren't fooling anyone).
Now, provide your links that prove creationism is real, evidence supporting it, and peer-reviewed papers in a scientific journal... (oh wait, the last part wouldn't be available since creationism isn't science)

Why would I bother doing that when it is irrelevant to the discussion? Have you not read the many, many posts where I have stated that I think that neither evolution nor creationism should be taught in public schools? Why should I provide a defense of creationism when I am not advocating for it to be part of public school curriculum?
You however, are promoting the continued instruction of ToE in public schools. It is incumbent on you to provide evidence that supports the validity of that which you want taught. You attempted to do so by linking to a pro-evolution propagandist website.
Don't forget that humans rode around on Dinosaurs!
Back to that tired, old strawman - huh?
You evolutionists ought to spend more time defending your theory rather then creating nonsensical caricatures.
