Math, geometry physics, genetics, all have useful applications to humans. All the theory of evolution can postulate, even if someday proven, is that animals that lived in the past are different than those that will live in the future. No shat, never woulda thought of that. And even that part of it is worthless, due to genetic engineering and species protection.
It's so worthless, there would have to be an agenda for it to be taught in a school at all.
Its only use, is as a socialist, liberal tool to be used to dissuade others from believing in some variety, any variety, of theology.
That's why it's over-promoted as a science, funded and taught in schools.
I suppose the same could be said of Astronomy and Cosmology. Why would we waste time and money in study of the cosmos. It can do nothing for humanity.
Why do we waste all that money on SETI? What a joke!
Meteorology? It is not like we can change the weather patterns. That is God's pervue. What a waste.
Quantum Physics? What a waste. We can not see it. We can not use it.
Plate tectonics? It is not like we can change the drift of continents.
And NASA? OMG, what might have been accomplished if we had used those funds for peaceful pursuits, instead of sending men to the moon?
These things are worth pursuing just for curiosity's sake. Anything which expands the base of human knowledge is a blessing. Knowledge is never detrimental. Except perhaps to those dependent upon their ancient myths.
If scientific research were controlled by folks like you and my dear Grandparents, we would have never exceeded 50,000 feet in altitude or broken the sound barrier.
I can still remember Grandpa and Grandma commenting on the Apollo Program.
"The heavens belong to God. God will never allow man to go past the edge of our atmosphere.?
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
