Have you followed the history of this? DK has been claiming that there are NO biology textbooks that teach evolutionary biology, and kept yapping on and on about how it was other peoples' job to prove him wrong. Like we are all supposed to run down to our high schools and look a their biology textbooks to make him happy.
So TS did prove to him that there are such things.
As to correcting my English, I disagree with you. Saying that "AP Biology is certainly taught in high schools" in now way implies "all" high schools.
Actually I didn't find the textbooks; TS did and I just enjoyed DK getting his comeuppance. Which I make no apologies for since he was, IMO, obnoxious about it and refused to do his own homework for himself. And as somebody else pointed out, this isn't the first time he has done this. However, he doesn't accept defeat gracefully, but no matter how many facts you throw at him, he refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong. Which is what is behind my comment that you took exception to.
As for my beliefs about evolution, your first understanding was correct. I do not advocate the teaching of creation "science." However, I also think that there are many questions about and holes in the theory of evolution, and it should not be taught as established and proven science, but as a theory which at this point is the theory which best fits the limited facts we have about the origin of the human species, but which may well be proved in error as more facts are developed. I have a sneaking suspicion that in the year 2250 scientists will consider our understanding of evolution as primitive as we considered the stage of the atomic theory of matter in 1750. |
