Oh dear lord, you are making the same argument that Young Earthers try to push. "You weren't there!" You might want to look into something called radiometric dating - most notably radiocarbon dating. Actually don't - you'll just deny that too. Because maybe man was riding on dinosaurs.  weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Reading comprehension, amigo. The point I made is that if science students in those areas are being led to believe that certain positions are equal (based on current evidence), it's actually not their fault. Rather, the fault lies with those on the board of education for not putting together a better curriculum. Politics and religion shouldn't have any influence on how science is taught but unfortunately it's still happening in present times.

Do you agree that the government shouldn't be funding scientific studies because of the political nature of said funding?

Dude, most government funding is politically motivated in one sense or another. We can argue that partisanship shouldn't come into play but that's just the nature of the beast. The system is flawed. But you seem determined to introduce one of your little nuggets into this thread. So by all means - whip it out.
