How can Biologists believe in the ToE?

I think I see a pattern. 10 or 15 years back (I forget) a major campaign was launched to get evolutionism into lower grades. Books were re-written to stuff it in at every opportunity, and teachers were given special training. But it's backfired spectacularly. Young kids are much smarter than the evolutionists thought. And they have a lot of free time, a luxury not often found in the adult world. The earlier they encounter the idea, the longer they have to question it. And it's banished by scrutiny.

Could you explain why largely only the US and some middle eastern states have this phenomena?Outside of those places, such as Europe or Asia, evolution is accepted as fact that those who proclaim various origin stories are basically mocked by the general public. As Europe and Asia lead the world in test scores from the youth, it would seem that only places where the youth are poorly educated, such as the US and Middle East is where creationism can actually take root.You see some of the most ardent youth supporters of Creationism in the US south which has the worst education systems in the union and in the Middle East were education is largely just religious memorization. Literal Genesis is heavily believed in the youth of Pakistan who receive little more then religious indoctrination.Could you care to explain this galaxy sized problem away?

This can be evidenced by the increasing rates of people who keep saying "Its just a theory". Its really quite sad.

And people who don't know what a theory is.It's not surprising why the US is steadily facing a decline in global competitiveness. The population is steadily getting dumber and dumber when it comes to science. The vast majority of science graduates in US secondary schooling are foreign.

Now, let's think about why the theory of evolution is "banished" by the "scrutiny" of children but not by the scrutiny of scientists.

CTD has made a fatal error. His argument only includes the youth of America and the youth of countries like Pakistan. In countries that have good primary education systems, evolution is a solid fact. Western Europe is effectively a evolution stronghold. North East Asia as well. Both lead the world in youth test scores.So his argument really is that evolution fails under the scrutiny of some of the poorly education children of the world, yet omits that it is accepted by the children who have had the best education. I suspect he will ignore this problem even though I've asked him to deal with it.
