I added a word to make it better

I'm guessing you have never seen Bill Nye's show. This man is brilliant when it comes to educating kids about science.

They should teach anthropology to children in school from kindergarten through 12th grade.

People don't like it when you tell them that their fairy tale isn't true.

His show was great when I was in school. It was always funny and a learning experience for us kids. Many people that grew up with his show still love the guy.

Most people don't like it when you tell them what they think is wrong. In some cases that hits a nerve.

It's a little thing called free will. Are we supposed to "evolve" past free will? Ok fine, then "evolutionary wise" homosexuality doesn't make sense and must be a defect that will be weeded out. Would that fit into this man's philosophy? Do you agree with that? Doubt it. Science is based on theories. THEORIES. Meaning nothing can be proven. They are possibilities and then we can decide if we think they are plausible. Science changes it's mind all the time. Be careful what you wish for, someone may come to tell you that your ideas are a disservice to your kids or country some day.

True too. Usually I don't get into what's right, wrong, true, or false with people. It never ends well.
