If most of the people support I.D. being taught in classrooms, then it should be taught, because it is the PEOPLE who's taxes keep the schools functioning.
If most people support that Pi=3.00, should schools teach that, too?"

I wish my latin was better,
I'd say something like 'reducto ad absurdum' (or was that Harry Potter?)

Regardless what I might believe personally, the evolution and only evolution group on FR appears to be terrified of being questioned and that suggests to me that there is a hole in their theory; perhaps larger than the obvious 'how'd it get started and what allows for the machinery of micro evolution?'.

Reducing the debate to likening 69% to 20% and then to Pi = 3.00 'because it's confusing' only underlines that observation.

Your phraseology suggests your position. To say that scientists, who comprise many of the 'group' you refer to here on FR, are 'terrified' of questions belies a misdunderstanding of how science works.

And aren't you overlooking the anti-evolution group that is terrified of the Theory of Evolution and that is hysterical about it because they think it questions, contradicts, and undermines their religious beliefs? Just on this thread a poster likened evolution to an 'out and out' war against a particular religious belief.

Actually most of us, if not all, welcome questions, unfortunately the majority of our interactions with the anti-evolution crowd contain not questions but bald assertions stating that evolution is 'just wrong'.

If you have questions about evolution, including those you feel make the theory less than perfect I'd be happy to do what I can to answer them.
