Who is the scapegoat for this one?
by MikeGeneThe critics are always trying to frighten us about the state of science education in America. Their common theme is to point out how many Americans reject evolution and contrast this with the high level of acceptance in Europe. Yet this single-variable analysis is more propaganda than analysis. For example, earlier I showed you that scientists in India are worried about the state of science in their country. Now, consider what is happening in Europe:
Sciences, maths and languages are suffering an 'irreversible decline' and dying out in British universities, a study has warned.
One in ten maths and science courses and 15 per cent of French courses have closed over the past decade, the University and College Union said.
The closures are part of a worrying trend of students shunning traditional academic disciplines in favour of trendier degrees such as media studies.

Based on the logic of ID critics there can be but one conclusion. Protecting a theory from scientific criticism leads to dogmatism which in turn causes a loss of interest in science.:smile:
