And since that evidence doesn't exist and can't be replicated in the lab, young children shouldn't be taught such speculative nonsense.

Ridiculous! I cannot replicate a black hole in my lab either. Should we then not teach about black holes either? Re-read post #145 by ThinkPlease.

Do you believe Genesis to be an accurate scientific explanation for the origin of life on earth?

"Ridiculous! I cannot replicate a black hole in my lab either. Should we then not teach about black holes either?"

spurrious reasoning, based upon the false assupmtion that the "laboratory" needs to be a confined building/space". By "laboratory" you very well know that the term is appied to "controlled envirnment, where external influenes are prevented from affecting the results of a controlled experement". A laboratory testing can very well and inded does occur in the "field" of an event happening.

Black holes can be taught, but not much about them can be taught as "fact" because they are nearly impossible to subject to proper testing to fully understand their nature.

First of all, Genesis has NOTHING to do with proving or disproving Evolutionary Theory. It is at best a straw man. Let's stick with scientific facts and avoid religion, shall we.

Second, Black Holes started as a theory and then were supported by experimental laboratory evidence, including various radio telescope data of which you of all people show be aware.

In contrast, Evolution started as a theory and has gone on to be bereft of scientific evidence of abiogenesis.
