48. I agree a lot of people think that evolution is true.

that does not make it science.
A lot of people believed the earth was flat. When people started testing and observing that theory, it was soon discarded.

And in fact, evolution might be
true. Or maybe the greek gods formed the earth. In any case, since the evidence isn't there, we only have speculation, not science.

Considering the slow rate of change that we *observe* in species, the existence of transitional species should be massive and easy to find. Instead it is almost non-existent. And where is exists, it is not conclusive

I think that the reason Americans are ahead in most fields is that we don't subscribe to groupthink. I don't suppose you are endangering your child by making him conform rather than think, but neither do I think it wise.

By the way, you may want your child to help you with spelling.
"readying" is incorrect.
