So if it isn't found yet, how could we teach it? "Well, here's the scientific evidence of evolution. Uh, well, we don't have any, but we're confident some will be found!"

(Shakes head)


I'm not sure what your point is in this statement nor can I see why you would be shaking your head at me....

Don't you remember correcting me before with this statement...???

I see nothing in your link that indicates any of these scientists ever made statements that Wollemi is definitively extinct. In fact, few scientists would ever make such a statement; 'apparently extinct' or 'most likely extinct' is far more in line with scientific usage.

Let's look at your statement again shall we?

Example of one question: "When Darwin’s theory of evolution is taught in school, students should also be able to learn about scientific evidence that points to an intelligent design of life.”

Not to be nitpicky but this is a declarative statement, not a question, which makes this:

the question doesn't make any sense, does it?

nonsensical

But I digress... In light of your previous lesson to me in scientist speak wouldn't it have been more appropriate instead of

Since there is none,

maybe,

"apparently there is no evidence..." or
"no evidence has yet been found to support...." or
"We scientists are not aware of any evidence to support..." or
the standard "Darwinism doesn't address the initial design of life yada .. yada.. yada"

Consistency is your friend...

I haven't a clue what point you're trying to make here. If we haven't found any evidence contradicting evolution, how can we teach the evidence contradicting evolution?

If you think there is evidence contradicting evolution, post it.
