...singling out evolution ...

Yeh, I kind of forot about that part. What I would like to see come out of all this is some enthusiasm for all the deep mysteries of science that remain.

When I was a teenage considering a career, I was told by my teachers that all the great problems had been solved, or would be in few years. What a crime against humanity.

This may seem heretical but I'm actually not all that much in favor of teaching science in elementary school.
All too often, no, make that almost always, "science" is taught as a bunch of dry, boring facts to be memorized.

The magic goes away. No one's fault really. People wouldn't be elementary school teachers if they themselves had been caught up in the excitement of real science.
