>It seems that the biggest defenders of evolution are also the biggest defenders our nation’s atheistic, compulsory-attendance, compulsory-funded, socialist K-12 school system.
I wonder why that is?

Fallacy: red herring.

>Fundamentally, if it weren’t about indoctrinating the next generation of voters in our nation’s socialist K-12 schools and our colleges and universities, all this controversy would evaporate like dew on grass on a hot summer’s day.

Ironically true; if poor parents weren’t indoctrinating their children with misguided, pseudoscientific beliefs about creation, evolution be accepted by everyone. As it is presently by the scientific consensus. It’s that whole evidence thing that really does it.

>The only people who would give a twit about evolution would be the handful of people actually working in this very **narrow** area of science. The study of evolution has little impact on the work of nearly any other scientist, engineer, or productive worker in *any** area of honest endeavor in the entire world.

Quite to the contrary: as a Christian once put it, “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution”. Evolution is a major unifying theory within biology, which links together agriculture, medicine, zoology, and essentially everything else, in addition to other fields, including biochemistry, computer science, and anthropology.

The study of evolution is massively important for all of biology - and it’s why flu shots are updated yearly.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A flu virus has never grown into a mammal. You are confusing macro-evolution with micro-evolution.

Now?....In what field is your Ph.D. in science? ( Just wondering)

Wrong. Don't you remember Perhaps you are unaware of all those crevo threads where the biggest supporters of our nation’s atheistic, compulsory-attendance, compulsory-funded, socialist K-12 school system and DEMAND that evolution and evolution only and creation need not apply, be taught.

What was your previous screen name?
