True, but creation was more widely taught in schools, and was taught until the 1960’s and our technology never suffered. I am not arguing for ID or creationism, just that stupid point that we would fall into the dark ages of technology advancement if we somehow made a blurb or two about ID, which I am not in favor of, at least not in science class.

You're right. Except for a few fields, it doesn't really matter much what you believe about evolution or creation. A creationist could design an airplane, write a computer program or study the atmosphere just as well as an evolutionist. The academic success of Christian schools provides ample proof of that.

The interesting thing about world travel as an American is that I have no problems anywhere. People usually like individual Americans.

But when Creationism and its disguises comes up, the conversation usually turns to (only half in jest) “How can you complain about the Taliban when you let your schools and children's minds be hijacked by the Creationist fools and scammers.”
