"If there were such thing as an honest scientific debate about whether the Modern Evolutionary Synthesis is true, it would belong in schools as science."

What the heck are you talking about?

Evolution is the foundation for all biology. It has withstood 150 years of investigation by legitimate scientists and about the same from loonies who have a cultish religious view.

What doesn't belong in science classes is nonsense promoted by the fundamentalist sects.

Agreed. But can the scientific community (such as it is) tell the difference?

Let's use you as an example. What are the two are three biggest weaknesses of the modern evolutionary synthesis?

"What doesn't belong in science classes is nonsense promoted by the fundamentalist sects."

Speaking of fundamentalist sects:

Excerpt:

"...Indeed, Wayne Carley, executive director of the National Association of Biology Teachers acknowledged as much, saying the change was made because they wanted "to avoid taking a religious position."

That is an admission that demonstrates the truth of what Christian critics have been claiming all along: The association's original platform - like Darwinism itself - exceeds purely scientific conclusions, and embraces distinctly religious ideas.

The NABT decision to change its statement is widely seen as a retreat from the secularist worldview of the "scientific" community.

"That perception may cause the Darwinists some worry... because they cannot afford to look as if they are losing confidence."
