Well, I can't argue about the lack of formal logic courses in the curriculum
(at least at JHU), but, dammit, I was taught the scientific method starting in
junior high (*that* should date me ;-)), and I can't see why it seems to be
abandoned by some bozos whenever religion is mentioned. The two have *nothing*
in common; one is about evidence, the other about faith. As a matter of fact,
it's my personal position that any creationist who needs to fabricate
"evidence" for his position *has* no faith, no matter how loudly his claims to
the contrary.
(There, I feel *much* better. Can't tell this is one of my pet peeves, can
you?)
