Evolution not the only thing to be taught anymore?

The article provides no background for the decision, but nevertheless it is a tragedy.

When the argument is that it is necessary to teach more than one "scientific" theory then they are completely out of their league. This is a classic example of creationists and ID-followers to use "scientific methods" to claim that they teach "science" when what they have is a doctrine based on a religious opinion.

Evolution _is_ science. Evolution may be discussed, investigated, tried, and tested.

Creationism can only be assumed and argued about. All attempts that I have seen so far to argue for creationism either start by claiming that Darwin was wrong (and thus showing they know nothing about evolution) or by claiming (as the article does) that life is too complex to have developed without a creator. The first is simply ignorant, the second is usually more philosophical, but they always end up bashing evolution.

Anyway, that's what I think.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
