It's not really bigoted, but the evolution fight is used as a standard in the culture war. I have six friends from the same family that were all taught creationism and they still have better critical thinking skills than the average kid with a public education ends up with.
to be clear I think creationism is stupid and insupportable, but it didn't end up hurting them that bad and I know plenty of people with "better" educations that don't seem to be inoculated against believing stupid stuff. For instance, people I know that have expressed skepticism about vaccinations are evenly split between people I would classify as "conservative Christian" and "progressive".
- lamuerteflaca 12y agoJust like you I also have plenty of anecdotes.
- A_COMPUTER 12y agoI wasn't asserting a universal claim other than that believing some stupid things doesn't mean you're uneducated or stupid with regards to other things.
