<Watch it? We've been directing it for thousands of years by selective plant and animal breeding.>

That too....

<Well, if its taught, it also ought to be taught ... as you said .... "that we dont' know shit about the mechanism".>

It IS... why do you think they talk about fossil evidence? Cause we don't know the molecular (cellular, whatever) mechanism.

<Untruthfulness is wrong and is ultimately bad for science. >

Of course, but it has nothing to with teaching evolution or not.

Look, science isn't flawless any more than anything else is... my priest told me during RCIA that "the church is a HUMAN institution, with all the faults of humans"... (which actually is an incredibly enlightened thing for a priest to say I've found out over time)... well, what's the difference with Science???

IN FACT... the beauty of science is that when evidence to the contrary comes about, it is looked at and what was "common knowledge" changes rather quickly, and with a relative whimper comapared to religions... who hang onto falsities for thousands of years and will kill to defend them.
