No one questions mutation... unless you mutate too much. Creationists seem to allow mutation within kinds but not between kinds. Problem is, they give no clear definition of a kind, which makes their theory irrefutable.

Although, I do agree that much more critical thinking and scientific method courses, (or even one), would be *very* valuable in high school. It would seem to me that a course involving a scientific and critical investigation of spoon bending, ESP, mind-reading, and all the James Randi type investigations would be both valuable and fun. Presumably then you wouldn't need anti-evolution in science because they would already think critically about everything... science, religion, both sides, and everything else.

A Myth Busters class. Now that would be interesting. And quite difficult. Most anti-science types will not accept the concept of a double-blind experiment.

Scientists argue about defining species, don't they? Scientists argue about all sorts of things. Does that make one side wrong and the other right? Who decides?
