A. children taught exclusively creationism overseas.

B. their resulting scientific competency.

Okay. Let's start with the countries where they don't teach evolution. I'll submit Somalia and Afghanistan. You got any you want to add to the list?

While reading this thread and trying to decipher tpanther's point through his screeching, I'm still not clear what he's asking for.

Clearly the scientific literacy rate of Afghanistan and Somalia lags far behind that of the US. Is he suggesting that it doesn't?

Of course, I expect the cop out of how those kids aren't learning tpanther's version of creationism (when in reality, they most certainly are), so he'll handwave those two countries away.

I'll submit Nigeria and Angola, two of the most christian nations in Africa who most likely don't touch evolution and school and surely teach creationism in church and home.

What?

What is this, tit for tat?

I’ll go one better with comparable(?) numbers of children actually attending school (it would be interesting to see how many children are enrolled in school in Afghanistan and this hellishly failed U.S. liberal city):

Detroit.

Where your way has resulted in 26% of kindergarteners actually graduating H.S., or with a less than 50% literacy rate for adults.

And this is a place where girls ARE allowed to go to school.
With a “stable” govt. (I know, I know, it’s a stretch but...) where the girls aren’t owned like property, with a relatively decent food supply, etc. etc. etc., all the obstacles, or most anyway removed...for the most part, and where inner city ‘troit kids aren’t living in the 7th century.

Are you sure you want to go down this road?
