Re: Evolution Must Be Taught in Public Schools
You have it bass ackwards Hyrdogen Bond. Science is very secure about evolution. However, it is evolution that the fundamentalists have chosen to attack.
Science itself tells us that most people are governed much of the time by their emotions and do not apply logical thought. They can accept without question what they are told about the physics of falling objects, or the chemistry of steels, because this knowledge does not threaten their core beliefs. This is not the case with evolution.
For a considerable time - and still to a considerable extent - science, or rather scientists, simply ignored the ludicrous attacks made on evolution by fundamentalists. They assumed these attacks were irrelevant, since they were illogical and founded on emotion. Only recently has 'science' recognised the very real threat such pernicious thinking represents and that is why 'science' is responding.

An open mind is more about accepting nothing, than about accepting everything.
