As some people have mentioned, in Prof Grobstein's section on Thursday we talked a lot about the place of Evolution and other creation stories in the Educational system.  This reminded me of an article I was reading online last week about how only 50% of Brits and Americans believe in Evolution.  I was really surprised by this when I first saw the headline of the article. This seemed to go along with our discussion of the place of creation stories in education. If only half of the American and British populations believe in Evolution is there a place then for the kind of class we discussed on Thursday, a sort of cosmology (right?) course? The more I reflect on this article and our conversation in class, the more convinced I am that early education should have a course on origins and creation stories.  With a course like this, classes on other disciplines can bring in these different stories as fits the discipline, like science bringing in evolution.
