Exactly the opposite. If you'd read the rest of the post you'd see that my problem with low level science classes is that functionally they do worse than keep the masses uninformed, they downright MISinform the masses. 90% (maybe even more) of what you learned in your jr high and high school science classes is complete rubbish, it doesn't match up with either known or theorized science. This thread is a classic example, most high school bio classes that teach evolution teach a highly oversimplified version of Darwinian evolutionary theory even though Darmwin's theories have been largely disgarded as a nice start but wrong, and they also do nothing to distinguish between evolutionary theory and abiogenesis, and don't cover the later at all thus allowing students to make a false assumtion that evolutionary theory goes all the way back to the first appearance of life. This doesn't do the students any good, and if they don't go into a field where they need to learn biology and get the opportunity to unlearn the lies their teacher taught them they go on to be ignorant adults. If there isn't the time to teach students the truth it's much better to ignore the subject than to oversimplify it to the point of fiction.

That is absolutely false. Earlier, another poster made claims about the curriculum and I posted to him a link of approved curriculum modules that proved he was out to lunch. Please post examples of your claim that these science classes are rubbish and I will post you modules that show your claims are hogwash.

Absolutely false. Apparently you did not read the earlier posts on this thread:

[broadway]Darwin never discussed the Origin..... I beleive you, but that's not my point. It's being taught as evidence of the way life originated in our public schools. Who will correct the teachers?

[WildTurkey]Do you have any basis for your claim? Here is a typical teaching module and you will see that it is NOT what you claim. It clearly separates the origin of life from evolution and clearly states same.

When will yo correct your post?
