Why are we falling so far behind in science?

SFC Jerry C. - IF that's the case then you haven't been paying attention and maybe you should step out from behind your supposed degree and look around, clearly your not, we suck at science because religion is taking over science classes in parts of the country.... and in others no one wants to teach it because there is no funding, that doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that.

SFC Jerry C. - To the contrary, if you actually felt that way, you'd have stopped posting along time ago, I actually don't care about your degree because clearly you're out of touch with the modern education system, so seriously, take your little piece of paper and hang it back on your wall and continue to pretend your a special snow flake.

Ah see.. you are the one who waved it around like you won the lottery and you have yet to demonstrate it's anything but a piece of paper... no your posting opinions as if they are facts when in fact they are just opinions of someone hiding behind a piece of paper who clearly demonstrates that you are out of touch with modern academia.

While teaching creationism is generally a waste (there is no value or application, it's pretty much on par with flat earth and heliocentrism) for anyone outside of certain religious ideologies; that alone isn't the crux of the issue. It's a symptom of a broader problem that is the result of defunding, mismanagement, and sometimes outright sabotage.

I was a kid back then. After the US sent a man into space I was so into space and science. I read all the articles in National Geographic and Time magazine. I built Models of our rockets and the Eagle Moon lander.
