[ These are questions for which Darwinist theory has no answers; so the questions aren't even asked. ]

Are you saying Darwinists refuse to ask THE HARD QUESTIONS?..
You know; like political liberal pundits on TV among each other..

I can hardly wait until some state law requires evolution to be debated in high school classrooms.

As long as it is simply presented as something to be memorized, kids can do the minimum required to pass the tests and then forget it.

But if you require a lengthy and detailed defence of evolution, the amount of material available, including the transcripts of the Dover trial, will make a much stronger impression.

I personally think a history of science would be useful to kids. For me, the history of the debates is really entertaining. For one thin you discover that all the objections andcreationist talking points were debated by scientists for nearly 80 years before reaching the modern synthesis.

What we have now is akin to the status of perpetual motion and free energy machines. It's hardly worth the effort to answer every question that was raised and answered a hundred years ago.

But if the law requires it, the full debate will be taken into the classroom, and students will be required to show the math, so to speak, if they want ot argue.
