Answering creationists with a 'But what about...' just entrenches them to show you as wrong. The best tool in the box is the knowledge. By presenting our young with all the information. Even the unsavory bits. With all the information presented in a unbiased balanced maner... to good to be true. We just have to try harder. I am at times ashamed of some of our forefathers as some of there actions were appallingly violent and racist. We have educated ourselves to a point today where we recognize the rights of every person equally. The right to carry a religious belief and to empower our offspring with it is at times improper to me. Balance is achieved by complete and reasoned education. In some small way, This column is part of that.
