The Darwinian Elephant in the Room

Just how big does the elephant in the middle of the kitchen have to get before people start to see it?

The "evolution debate" is not about evolution vs creationism or whether evolution is taught in schools.

It's about violence.

Government violence.

It is the coercion (violence) of government that has monopolized education and forcefully extracts money from people to fund it. It is government that politicizes education by the sheer force of the gun of taxation and monopolistic law.

If government was not involved in education, there would only be private schools -- lots of them -- competing with each other providing affordable, quality education. If there are enough people in the education market who want their kids taught creationism, the market will provide it.

There will be more than enough people who want evolution taught and no creationism taught for there to be a wide selection of private schools to choose from.

End of controversy.

Who cares if people want to teach their kids ignorance? OK, I care, but I don't feel I have the right to have someone point a gun at them and tell them they can't or that they have to teach evolution. That's just plain immoral. Just like government.

Now you know why I'm so tired of the evolution/creationism debate.

Everyone involved in it is blind.
