The issue here, as I see it anyway, is essentially trading one bit of peripheral knowledge for another.
As much as people may hate to hear things phrased this way, evolution, for the average lay person, ultimately is little more than a secular "creation story." While I suppose that it might provide opportunities for a person to expand their imagination in the same way that my knowledge of history does (I will admit to dreaming up bizarre alien creatures and speculating upon their evolutionary histories myself from time to time), it's not like a person is necessarily being "deprived" of anything if they are simply taught a different creation story instead.
Frankly, how many of these families are completely keeping knowledge of evolution away from their children anyway? A lot of the more fundamentalist Protestant families I knew would actually teach their children about evolution explicitly so that they could argue against it. :lol:
That frankly strikes me as being somewhat misguided. However, it's better than nothing, I suppose.
Honestly, judging from what I've seen of most of the rest of my generation, I don't even think I'd want to be "socialized."
Maybe that's a bit myopic, but it is the way I sincerely feel on the matter. :shrug:
