We were taught that fossils were dated by their layers and that deeper layers are older. In fact, everyone I know who I've discussed this subject was has been taught the same thing throughout their schooling.

Everyone.

The fact is, evolution is a treated as a fanatical exclusive religion by the school system to the point of excluding all information that would oppose it.

This is soviet-style censorship.

And why would they do this?

As I always say:

Evolution is a social control. It is conditioning you to accept a socialistic one-world government. That is its ultimate purpose. Without a faith in evolution, socialism simply could not be coerced into a society for long.

Those who are unable to see the connection between the evolution faith and socialism are perfectly conditioned to accept both.
