Subject: Minnie let's bring other civilizations into this discussion...

I'm thinking about the China and India. Both of those civilizations are so much older than the Western Christian one. Considering the amount of immigration from those countries, who might not be Christian, I wonder how they fit into this push for teaching Creationism.

Just today I was watching a program about Chinese school system. So it's by coincidence that we have been talking about educational system in the USA, so I thought I'd pose this question because it is an interesting tangent.

I have always thought that religion should be taught at home and at church. At school, children should learn about the world in addition to the basics of the 3 R's. Chilren should also learn critical thinking, art, social sciences, and pure sciences. The last ones, especially are greatly neglected in some schools. That's just my humble opinion. :-)
