Numerous articles weigh in on the political and academic debates about funding universal pre-K, but the more interesting and
basic question at hand is what we're asking of pre-K.
Solve for us the
question of the reasonableness of athiesm, where you get something (big bang) from nothing — there must be a first cause of everything; explain implications of the anthropic principle and the wildly unprobablistic likelihood that our universe could even form in such a fashion as to be capable of sustaining life (which has, interestingly, your athiest heavy hitters (i.e. Dawkins, Schwartz, etc.) necessarily positing multiple universe theories to get around the near probablistic impossibility of all conditions be present
at time of big bang for life to be possible without acknowledgement of a divine designing
hand guiding the process); explain The probablistic impossibility of non-irreducibly complex
basic cells (life) coming together spontaneously (DNA, cell membrane, etc), even the most
basic, simple forms of life allowing for reproduction, metabolism, etc...
The uncomfortable reality: Outside the
basics (more CO2 = warming world = many climate shifts + less ice + rising seas) more research on complex scientific
questions often leads to more
questions rather than resolving the one
at hand.
