>>It is actually that unlike other disciplines, evolution is not taught well because it is convoluted and those teaching it aren’t very good.<<
Or maybe those who can’t understand it are just slow.
If you READ the original article it is clear the problem is a teaching problem not a TToE problem.
But I suspect I am speaking to one of those “a tornado can’t make a 747 in a junk yard” people who can’t understand stochasticism.
You seem to only insult.
Why? Why the anger and misplaced hubris?
Have you ever even taken a university level biochemistry or molecular biology class?
Have you ever run a gel or a column? Ever prepared competent cells and transformed them? Ever cloned and sequenced a cDNA or gene?
Have you ever written a scientific article?
The article in Science can’t be read unless you have a membership, so I suppose we have to take its conclusions on faith.
And that’s a lot easier than reading the article—like saying, “The moon ate the Sun.” is easier than explaining how an eclipse works.
Creationism>Intelligent design. Global warming>Climate change. They put this old wine in a new bottle and that is supposed to make it different.
What’s really funny are the statements: “evolution is just a
theory”. E=mc2. That’s just a theory, too.
And “evolution is a religion,”—that may be my favorite. That’s saying, “You’re just like us ...” but ignoring the fossil record, molecular biology and direct evidence of natural selection. The religion of science?
When called and asked to show their cards, they toss some old books on the table—of doubtful authorship and filled with hearsay, contradictions and demonstrable nonsense (SEE: ‘Mormonism”), and demand that you acknowledge that their faith is fact, the ‘one true religion’—even though you are handling a Torah, a Koran and Bible, and thousands of other manuscripts, all claiming to be true.
That’s the only “theory” going on here and that’s why it’s called “faith”.
Just because the Aztecs really, really believed the moon was gobbling up the Sun didn’t make it true, and today most civilized people agree that carving out the hearts of thousands of non-believers to propitiate the moon was commendable in demonstrating their faith, but otherwise a complete, savage waste of life and time.
