If Darwinism were the key to good science education, surely we’d have the world’s best, after all these years. However ...
Why can’t we all just admit that MATH is the key, followed by memorization of observable facts? “Here are the parts of a cell. Label them and describe their function, and make sure you spell them correctly.”
suppose you were told you had to teach magic as an alternative to math in math class? How smart would our kids be then?
Is it really about science versus magic? I personally can comprehend the wonders of science and still lead a rich spiritual life. No. The struggles in academia beginning at daycare is about who gets to form children's hearts and minds. The struggle is between amoral relativism favored by secular humanists and traditional morality expressed in personal responsibility, the value of human life and the family.
