You have a good time talking to the straw men in your head.

You are mixed up as to who is doing the poor teaching. It is the university professors who teach the classes the education students, and other students with other majors, take. These same professors are often the evolutionary scientists doing current research. I do acknowledge that there are also schools where no research is done and subjects are taught by those not actively doing research.

Evolution is quite simple to understand, but it is made a convoluted subject, very hand wavy with pseudo-complexity grafted on to give it an aura of gravitas it doesn’t merit, and is often subjective which makes it hard to teach even at the highest level of a research institution and even more so at secondary level non-research universities.

That has nothing to do with it being “false” or airplanes being built due to tornados. You do seem to be obsessed with such inanities.

I admit it — you lost me.

TToE is indeed quite simple to understand. The basics are there for anyone to understand.

There is a teaching problem, but I suspect the subject matter (TToE, the USC or so many other subjects) is not the problem.

Teachers just don’t know how to TEACH and the students, who have spent their lives getting medals for having “tried” just don’t know how to LEARN.

This isn’t TToE at all and I think you and I are arguing about something we agree upon based on specifics rather than the principles we see the same way.

Of all the gifts God gave us, His Children, the ability to teach was the greatest (seriously — Christ enumerated them). My mom had it — I kind of have it but my foolish passion inhibits my ability to use it some times (this being one of those times).
