In spite of our own government's reports to the contrary, Americans still believe that there was WMD before we got to Iraq and that Iraq supported Al Qaeda before 9/11 (BOTH assertions have been shown to be un-provable at best and false at worst).
How can you counter ignorance so entrenched that facts are dismissed in favor of a belief that helps support the very mistakes that those who ignore the facts readily admit were made?
There is no more acute sign that this universe lacks intelligent design as one need look no further than the willfully ignorant who cannot bring themselves to believe facts that run counter to their ideologies. So, let them teach ID theory and dim our children's chances of competing in the global market as facts are seemingly useless to us anyway.
