"Modern biology is like ancient biology. Biology hasn't changed."

Wrong. Ancient "biology" was belief that sickness was due to the devil. Modern biology is very materialist. Ancient biology was superstitious and belief in a supernatural driving force and either praying or sacrifice would resolve material things.


"So, what is it you would like to state ~ maybe that the principles of evolution are TAUGHT as part of a program of education in biology and biological processes?"

The principles of evolution cover all aspects of modern biology. Indeed, without it, biology would not be like today.


"BTW, if you really did need a "base" for understanding bilogy, I'd think you'd have to have CHEMISTRY under your belt first before you got into the metaphysics of evolutionary processes."

Evolutionary processes is not metaphysics. Belief in an intelligent creator that created humans and "gave" him 2 legs to stand on, however, is.

Intelligent design process: = humans are given two arms for handling things and two legs for mobility.

Evolutionary process = quadpedal primates turned into bipedals due to the adaptation to the (changing) natural environment(desertification of eastern Africa) and the need to stay ahead of savanna predators.

Biology is a process ~ life itself ~ not something you "believe".

BTW, it's pretty clear you have absolutely NO SENSE OF HUMOR. Just wanted to make sure you knew that.

Buck up man ~ I simply used "biology" in it's primary sense ~ not that of a course of study ~ and you just went out of your nut attacking what you believe to be, what? ~ an enemy of the state?

And you tell me you're not into metaphysics?

Totally ~ you are acting just like those yahoo Moslems who refuse to understand what the Pope had to say and just keep dwelling on the words he used ~ they weren't in the order liking to the Moslems, so they rage against him.

Anyway, rage on. It's your nickel.
