“Macro evolution is of importance to only **one** group of people: Scientist studying Macro evolution. The rest of the scientific world never has any reason to apply it to their work, and pays little attention to it.”
This is a fascinating comment. We have been told by many evos that evolution (not adaptation, I mean the TOE) is the foundation for all biological sciences and no one could do any research without understanding and accepting the TOE.
I am no scientist but it always seemed to me that as long as there was an understanding of adaptation then that was all that was necessary to do research. Adaptation is easily verified in real-time in the lab, as opposed to the TOE.
My youngest child took college level biology for science majors when she was only 14. Her professor didn't think she could pass the course, since she had been homeschooled and had never studied high school biology.
Every night, my daughter and I read her college biology text aloud. ( **every** assigned page and more). In a book that was possibly 3 inches thick only 4 or 5 pages was devoted to macro-evolution.
So...You see even in **biology** macro-evolution is barely discussed. This was the book and course that biology and pre-med majors taking.
My daughter and I read the text together so that I could define the terminology and explain the concepts. Her father reviewed all her class notes, corrected the spelling, and explained the chemistry.
I’ve had college level biology courses when I was a Bio major before I switched to meteorology and they never touched evolution.
They’re putting the cart before the horse. Much of evolution hinges on biology, not the other way around. Biology is needed to support the ToE but the ToE is not needed to support biology.
There’s tons of biology that can be done without bringing evolution in it. If it wasn’t included in high school biology, I doubt many kids would even notice.
All that claim is is justification to impose their worldview.
