This post absolutely terrifies me.  

The U.S. is certainly far behind other developed nations that know about evolution and aren't religious fanatics who believe that the Bible should be interpreted literally. You're insane if you truly believe that there really was an Adam and Eve and that she came from his rib. You're no less ignorant than some forest native who believes in rain gods & thinks sacrifices will end droughts.  

I do believe that if a woman stays at home she makes a better mother. I think if you're simply a wife, that shouldn't be the reason why you stay at home while your husband works. You should be doing something with your time. But if you're a mother, it is certainly better if you stay home with your kids. It is a very difficult job as it is, and mothers who work just do not put as much as they need to into their kids. I think the importance of the relationship between mother and child is more important with regard to a wife staying home than the relationship between the wife & husband. If it was just a wife & husband, it would be perfectly reasonable in this day and age for the wife to work, because she doesn't have the burdensome chores that women had back in the day in order to keep the house clean, the firewood gathered, the gardens hoed, etc. Modern convenience allows women the free time to work outside the home, BUT when there are children in the picture, I think a mother should be there for her kids as much as possible & when women try to be superwomen, they end up being mediocre at both, or neglecting one thing to do better at the other.  

And by the way, evolution explains all of this, if any of you who don't "believe in" it actually would bother to go educate yourselves beyond the "humans came from monkeys" thing that you're all so offended by. Human behavior can be explained very thoroughly through evolution, animal behavior, etc. Oh yeah, and we're all animals too. Even your bible-thumping can be explained by animal behavior and evolutionary science. We haven't moved as far beyond the rest of the animal kingdom as many ignorant religious fanatics would like to think.
