Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children

The tittle sums up my sentiment.

I may have nothing against people believe in religion, but I have a HUGE issue with people indoctrinating children with the sky-daddy that they believe.

Such indoctrination is most certainly harmful to the developing mind of children. Indoctrination encourages children to just accept statements as fact, to deny evidence, and most importantly to kill of questioning or simply being curious.

Such is the toll to human capital that most adults do not comprehend basic sciences nor are they capable in explaining or conveying scientific knowledge to the masses. Instead, most adults are more likely swayed by pseudoscience or whatever mumbo-jumbo that their religion believes in.



The worst part has to do with science teachers themselves. Till today I still hear horror stories about school teachers refusing to teach evolution. Some teachers state publicly to the students that they are supposed to teach evolution, but they won't accept it.
