Holcaust-deniers and evolution-deniers sing from the same hymnal on this one.
"...no other explanation...considered." Well, should we permit teaching the theory of demon possession in medical school as an equal to pneumococcal infection in diagnosing pneumonia? Should we teach the geocentric theory as an 'other explanation' to the heliocentric theory?
Your suggestion would open the door to having everyone's pet theories brought into the schools. Personally, I think gravity--which is supported by social and scientific elites-- has no transitional forms, and it is actually invisible pixies that make things fall down. There is no evidence whatsoever against the Pixie Theory!
No, but I think we would be MUCH worse off if ONE treatment for pneumonia was accepted at ALL medical schools and ANY researcher or professor who even thought about questioning the "approved treatment" risked having his career and/or funding eliminated.
Why not? We already allow the "theory" of evolution to be taught in Jr. High School. In case you didn't notice, the teaching of medicine works better when the human body and its components are treated as organized matter that performs specific functions, with little care for whether it took millions of years or only a few days for the organized matter to come about. Please explain how the "theory" of evolution explains organized matter performing specific functions better than intelligent design. Be sure to cite peer reviewed sources.
