  I’m sure he found a shitload of stuff that challenged that viewpoint.

  …and then proceeded to completely ignore it

    The sheer aptitude they had for ignoring information is commendable

    They should become a politician

  Like what kind? Believing in higher powers doesn’t have to mean that you don’t belive in evolution/natural adaptation taking place over time.

  If it was “God made everything and nothing changed” then yeah I feel you

    Creationists believe the first. For example I’m Christian, but not a moron, so I don’t believe in creationism.

    They specifically said he was a creationist though. Not just that he believed in a higher power.

  Two sets of facts for different purposes. Just like how we know that the stars are only a few miles away, but for the purpose of science they are millions of miles away.

  As long as the teacher understands their own lesson from the students work it doesn’t matter that the students doesn’t actually grasp what its about

    I mean, I’m in a medical course so… yes it does matter that students understand a fundamental concept all life is based on?

      Of course, i am not disputing that and it also matters to me. But i don’t believe the system of education allows a teacher to accurately assess such without putting a great amount of personalization in for every student.

      The skills required to pass education are not the same as those to get a good understanding and as a side effect we often have people severely lacking understanding biased by credentials in critical positions.

      Large language models have pretty much proven this by being able to ace exams better then any human while being unable to reason.
