Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think. Stars forming, for instance... You can believe it was just put there, sure. However, learning the how and why, the process involved, the time it takes, the cycle and elements, it truly gives you a finer appreciation and opens your mind to learn other natural process. Dinosaurs and stars... Since I was a child, I have found them both to be the most humbling things to study. To me, youre far less likely to want to hurt someone else and ruin the planet, once you learn all that is required to sustain it and how little of time we have evolved here.
