The "things" come from dimensio's post #171.

as long as you don't call it a flaw in the TOE

I don't think I ever described it as a "flaw". The point is: we are talking about learnin' these youngun's 'bout BI-O-LO-GEE. Why can't we try to make things clear for them?...you know the subject of evolution and origins is often confused, don't ya' think?

"Origins" means something else. That's outside the scope of biology. Evolution does not address the origin of life. That's not a failure of evolution any more than it is a failure of astronomy, which doesn't address the origin of life either.

That is, unless you're talking about the origin of species, a subject on which there is little real debate.

The subject of evolution is "often confused" because creationists insist on pretending that their personal belief is somehow every bit as scientifically valid. Stop the silly politics such as this nonsense from the Dover school board, and there won't be nearly so much confusion.

The answer to poor eduction is not to replace it with even worse education.

Only with Creationists.

I'm not sure what Dimensio meant by "things", but I would like to know what you mean.
