We were taught creationism since an early age. At some point they had to teach evolution to meet government curriculum requirements, but the entire time they kept emphasising “it is just a theory!!, and there is no real evidence for it”
Oh and during the week or two when evolution was taught, suddenly all we were doing in religion class was watching videos that “debunk” evolution, and “prove” creationism
I remember one of those videos which more or less boiled down to “the human eye is so complex that there is no way that it couldn’t have been created.”
Wasn’t until I was older that I thought, hey wait a minute. Other animals see way better than us, and there are many animals that see worse kind of proving the whole trial and error thing, and then you also realize we need corrective lenses because our vision fails and there are cataracts and lazy eyes and colorblind and then blind people. Maybe it’s not such perfect creation after all but instead a bunch of trial and error over millions of years
Not to mention that, for the longest time, that was the one they went to because science didn’t really have any kind of reasoning or theory for how it’d’ve come about and was considered, at the time, unknown; but, in our current present, now we do. Funny how science works.
