If a student asks, "Where did the Universe come from?" the teacher should say, "We don't know. Ask your parents what their beliefs are. My beliefs don't matter to you. The school board's beliefs don't matter to you. The Supreme Court's beliefs don't matter to you. Because nobody can say for sure and all answers are based on faith of one kind or another."

Why would you want the teacher to lie to the students? And to grossly misrepresent the evidence? And to mislead the students about the strengths of the scientific method and how it results in reliable knowledge that is far beyond "just faith"?

Oh, right -- because you don't have a clue about any of these things, and planning to pass your misconceptions along to the next generation.

I've got a better idea. Let's leave education to those who actually have knowledge of the subject, shall we?

I'm 63. My schooling ended in the 60s, well before all this quantum stuff came to be such general knowledge. I'm impressed with your knowledge.

One problem I've always had with Darwin's theory is the cross species thing. You mention in post 31 that it has been observed. You have provided many links to bolster your arguments; but not to this one. Could you provide one, please? Because, as of the 60s, one species evolving into another had never been observed.

You may want to turn down your combativeness a click or two; it doesn't serve you.
