Spare me.

Informed scientific dispute is the province of informed scientists (by definition). Since when do teachers fall into that group? This is just another bullshit attempt to inject religious nonsense into the school system.

Religious nonsense? Have more respect for those who believe (you just alluded that those who do are foolish...they might say the same about you in reverse). It takes MUCH more faith to believe in Darwinism than scripture and the evidences in nature. The Bible backs itself up so many times that the odds against it being false are astronomical. Darwinism cannot say the same.

*Their* view is just an attempt introduce nonsensical Darwinism into the school system.

So, a teacher should say on any science subject “Be quiet and don’t question this, Kayla. We’re not informed scientists.”? Really?

Larry,

If the teachers say to the students, “We all come from God”, I would tend to agree.

On the other hand, and this is the point you are failing to acknowledge, if probability science is unable to correlate the incredible improbability of a fish that looks like the sea-weed it lives in, there is a problem.

...and I believe there is real science out there worth looking at.

If you want total bullshit, look no further than “global warming”. Science doesn’t support anything other than a natural cycle and yet the left is screaming in your face (and destroying careers) over it.

Wow, you just managed to insult every teacher in this country in one fell swoop. That's quite an assumption, BTW.

If they are not *informed scientists* then what are they doing "teaching" science in schools to begin with?

Would you rather that they just blindly recite out of the textbooks handed to them without questioning any of it because *greater minds* than theirs have said so?

Is this how you would prefer kids to be taught? Just swallow the *facts* handed to them to later regurgitate them back on a test to receive a passing grade?

And people can't figure out why the US is so far behind the rest of the world in science. It comes from stifling learning and brainwashing them instead of teaching them to think.
