    And when you try to educate them, you will run into some characteristic problems, is my guess. Fundies are fundies the world over.
    Doesn't solve the problem. Homeschooling has to meet certain standards in Minnesota, and omitting biological science (among other problematic areas) fails them. And these are immigrants - homeschooling brings up problems of learning English, even, let alone politics etc.

    Education is a natural enemy of institutioanlized (i.e. dogmatic) theistic religion, and has been for centuries now - one reason the great theistic religions have always attempted to monopolize it, and govern it.

    Islam, with its insistence on the perfect origin and unchanging, immutable nature of the Koran, is particularly vulnerable.
    You don't appear, to me, to understand the basics of evolutionary theory. You make errors of assumption, logic, and inference (not here, but in other threads) that are typical of fundie creationists and atypical of people educated in the matter.

    Part of the confusion is natural: Darwinian evolution is also the one standing hypothesis (not yet a theory) for the mechanism of abiogenesis.

    You wont find purpose in your life. But can give your life purpose.

    I would think that the definition of faith is belief in something when common sense tells you not to.
