Lets see, our school kids aren't doing well in the math and sciences. They can't even think inside the box. Why bother with out of the box? Maybe you haven't noticed but in an international competition of school kids ours are not faring very well when compared with the world. Let them figure out the math equations before we talk of any of the "outside of the box" stuff.

Is it important to know how it came together? We don't know. All religion does is give a simple answer "X did it.". Right or wrong, nobody can prove one way or the other.
