I hate that debate, it never changes, and no is the better for it. We will all know when we die. On point though, the vast majority of people don't need to know anything about biology, beyond which hole the stick goes in to make babies, and food and water is good for you ( yes I know, over simplified ). Reading, writing, math ( good stuff that trains some logical thinking ), the scientific method, and simple finance. The rest can be built on that solid foundation. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
