Its all down to the individual to sift what information they are exposed to,and either believe without question or research alternative solutions.No one has all the answers.

Especially when they're brainwashed.

The whole world is brainwashed,one way or another.

Which two dinosaurs did they get on the ark ? I will reserve judgement until this is disclosed because the velociraptors would have eaten the chickens.

Is this definitely true? my missus is a yank and she is adamant that its not allowed for public schools to teach relegion. She was shocked when I described my school assemblies and singing hymns and Christmas mass.

There are varying degrees of brainwashing but the American religious right is up there with fundamentalist Islam and the North Korean regime.

Then again it could be that the Rascal virus has developed a new strain, so instead of repeating a word you just use a synonym

As many of their schools make kids pledge allegiance to the flag which includes the line 'one nation under god' I imagine there's a fair bit of religion and brainwashing in schools in the states.

I am a huge fan of tolerance and letting others live their lives their way. I find some of the intolerance on this board displayed on the religion threads to those not sharing a particular point of view to be pretty nauseating. So I would not want to condemn Louisiana schools for teaching creation as a possible theory any more than than I would condemn schools in Saudi Arabia for teaching Islamic creationist thought.

But the idea that a person who grows up being taught this crap could one day be

(a) the most powerful man (or woman) on the planet, and
(b) the commander in chief of the most powerful military on the planet, and
(c) in possession of a locked briefcase with a big red button inside

is one I find utterly fucking frightening.

Creationism isn't a possible theory, it's a make-believe story which categorically can't be backed up with any scientific evidence whatsoever. People may as well be taught that the universe was created by Bob Carolgees using an Etch-A-Sketch if we're giving creationism any creedence.
