The fact that you don't like one study is your problem.
Its not just my problem when fake studies (like the peppered moth) appear in textbooks. Fake studies aren't bad just because I don't like them. Untruthfulness is wrong and is ultimately bad for science.
evolution WE DO KNOW IT HAPPENS! The fact that you don't like one study is your problem. Hell, there are dozens of species that will have different morphologies from one generation to the next just based on their surrounding environment! You can WATCH IT!
Watch it? We've been directing it for thousands of years by selective plant and animal breeding.
<The more I learn, the more I think we should ban teaching of anything about evolution at all outside of say college level biochemistry classes. Darwin, Lamarck, .... Margulis ... all very different ideas. >
That's interesting... I have the opposite feeling for the same reason. Darwin, Lamark, Margulis... that's all pretty much beside the point if you're talking about basic evolution vs creationism... ie. organisms have changed over time or not. So I'm fine with evolution in the classroom for kids, in fact, it's a basic part of biology. AND it's (the concept) is the truth. It's when you get to college that that mechanistic stuff becomes more meaningful and yet they haven't updated.
Well, if its taught, it also ought to be taught ... as you said .... "that we dont' know shit about the mechanism". |
