Sure the earth rotates on it's axis (spins) as it revolves (orbits) around the sun.

The reason that private religious schools outperform public schools is the same reason private non-religious schools outperform public schools:
- Weathier families.
- Less dysfunctional familes.
- a non-unionized atmosphere.

Evolution is just a theory. No concrete evidence to back it up.

It doesn't help that we have religious universities in the American south dumbing down their students with a creationism only philosophy.

Avoidance of the statement in its entirety.

It does indeed orbit. And the earth does indeed spin.

Once again, they are not the same thing. If the earth stopped revolving, it would still orbit the sun. If the earth stopped orbiting the sun, it would, in all probability continue to spin.

Even if the earth stopped revolving, we would still have day and night, similar to what occurs at the poles. Just a longer day and night.

Think about it.

And just who posted the reference to religious schools out performing private schools? I suspect it was a Christian organization.

This, plus possibly inflexibility in regards to changing one's views/beliefs even when new evidence arises/is presented.

More like this is the only reason. Religion has absolutely nothing to do with how flexible someone is with their willingness to change their mind. Even on this thread we see this over and over again. The idea behind this thread is one of those gotcha topics that shows the same quality of scientific integrity as a Howard Stern "exposure."

I am surprised that it is not every other American who believes this nonsense. It must mean that people are actually educating themselves rather than allowing liberal freaks to indoctrinate them.

If someone where to ask me, I'd also say "nope" to the question about the earth revolving around the sun (because it doesn't). Of course, the media would paint this as a bad thing. Gotta love the media. Always looking for the the next great headline.
