Evolution is not an isolated concept that can be expediently omitted from a high-school biology syllabus. Rather, it is the single unifying concept of modern biology.

Liberals always overstate the importance of evolution. Some of the greatest biologist and scientist don't believe in evolution. The vast majority of biology has nothing to do with evolution.

Liberals always overstate the importance of evolution.

And conservtives always underestimate it's effects on our (social) thinking. It (the effect on out thinking) has resulted in gradually accepting the slow drift downward of every principle, attitude, and standard we have. Advocating unchanging standards is met by social ridicule, not agreement and approval, even on FR.

Dunno.. if evolution was so important then why would my college biology professor (with a Ph.D) say believing in evolution is not mandatory to study? Along the timeline of my studies of biology, very little has to do with evolution.

Ridiculous!

Name one.

"Liberals always overstate the importance of evolution."

This is NOT a liberal-conservative issue. Its NOT even an atheist - believer issue. An issue between people who choose to interpret the Bible in a literal word for word sense, ignoring all scientific proofs to the contrary and people who choose to reconcile scientific fact with religious doctrine.

The Wahhabis of the Christian world are the only people making an issue of evolution.

Liberalism is political term, and a part of politics.
Evolution is a scientific hypothesis and should not be part of politics.

Please note that in politics one votes to decide what is correct. In science, one proposes a hypothesis and tests it to determine its correctness.

There is a vast difference between testing and voting.
