"Did you study these in government schools? Evolutionary biology? Philosophy? Sociology? Earth sciences? Cosmology? Anthropology? World history?"
-Out of those we only had Philosophy in Islam and history in the islamic world and the way we appraoched any subject is through route memorization....usually before exams.
@ DG- my parents are the most god-fearing muslims I know and they're constatly trying to instill in me the same qualities. Rarely does a day go by without them reminding me to pray(they're doing that as we speak!), to read the quran, to recite dua...etc it's not my parent's "fault" that I who I am. So I disagree with you that it "has a lot to do with their parents" because frankly I don't think there's anything more they could do. Furthermore, it's noone's place to judge others by their beliefs, or lack thereof.
I think one thing I would like to tell parents out there that no matter how hard you try raising your kids ( and my parents did a superb job of that!) you can't control the outcome because, like you, they will grow up to be adults who can think for themsleves and who will be able to decide for themselves.
