The danger in the US at least is one of willful (wilfull?) ignorance. The idea that you can opt your children out of education, or that education is tilted to "respect" the deniers' denials, has resulted in a level of ignorance of science that is unparalleled in the world unless it's where there is no education at all.

The fact that Americans can get all the way through high school without knowing arithmetic, let alone the basic biology that would allow them to know how making babies works, and whatever is even stronger than "let alone" enough to understand the reality of evolution...


...whether god made it the way it is, or not, in your opinion.

It isn't dangerous to believe that a) science does show an old world but god made it look the way it does, and he did it 4000 years ago, or b) the world is old and evolution happened but god made it happen so that we would be the result. What is dangerous is c) Science is wrong and it *isn't* the way it is.
