Religious belief interferes with people's understanding of evolution (NPR)

[BrendaBrick]

102. I don't know if this still applies

but *back in the day* when I was in Elementary school, I seem to remember various repeated lesson plans early on that would show say, an apple and an orange and the thrust was to define "what was different?"... instead of maybe...what was the same? I mean, after all, aren't they both fruits?

Thinking back, I believe that set an important precedent in place for being on the *lookout* sort of speak, about what was different rather than focus on the commonalities.

Probably a bit off topic...just something that sprang to mind ~
