Well, yeah, if that means they'll bring English grammar classes back. You don't need to know about evolution unless you go into medicine, but no matter where you go in life, you will need good grammar.
Evolution is an appropriate science to be taught in schools as it is science, not myth.
Yes, it should be changed, slightly. Students need to be taught the difference between a theory and truth, so they don't go around claiming evolutionary theory is true. A theory could be false, and many have been shown false over the centuries. It has nothing to do with truth, but everything to do with usefulness. Evolutionary theory is useful: it provides a conceptual framework for organizing our observations, and it makes useful predictions about future observations. If it weren't useful, no one would care, and no one would use it.
But the truth could be that we're all brains in vats, which would nullify all of our theories, not to mention everything we think we know about the physical world.
Students need to be taught that we love it when a theory is proven wrong. When we discovered that Newton was wrong about gravity, we celebrated. Think about the crazy party we'd have if evolutionary theory were shown to be incorrect. Biologists everywhere would be insufferably giddy for months.
Yes, they need to concentrate on spelling.
The only way it won't be taught in schools is if the imbeciles against it actually find EVIDENCE that it's not true.
But those same idiots have had over two millennia to find the same kind of evidence for their deity, so I doubt their chances. They'll thump their books until they die, and hopefully their offspring will be marginally less stupid.
Maybe we could hire an unemployed lion to film a 30 minute presentation and the kids could spend the rest of the school year doodling
Of course science classes should teach evolution. It is a scientific understanding of the world.
I believe you should learn how to spell.
Only idiots and ideologues think evolution should not be taught.
nope, it belongs in schools since it is a scientific fact and all :)
It should only be taught with the knowledge that it isn't the proven truth. There are many theories and beliefs in the world today that one of them shouldn't be taught as truth over another. As a Christian I obviously believe that God made the world and that the evolutionary theory is wrong . But I know that not everyone shares that opinion and although I'd love everyone to believe it I know it can't be forced onto people. Therefore other theories or beliefs such as evolution shouldn't be either. It should be taught like all beliefs are taught eg in Religious education when the teacher says "Christians believe that..." Or "sikhs believe that.." Or "atheists believe that.." Therefore in biology evolution should be taught like "some scientists believe that.." Because not even all scientists agree with evolution and therefore it shouldn't be forced onto students in schools as a fact, because it is only a theory.
No cause its still only a theory. Waste of time.
Yes!! People ( Christians and Catholics) are getting their thoughts changed by professors who think they know everything. They dont need to turn belifs into science. They need to stick to the PROVEN basics.
Yes. I believe it should be taught in all schools, not just the majority.
We all have biased knowledge placed in our minds when growing up. Some believe in god making the universe and creating human life from his own image. Others believe in evolution, we were spawned from tiny micro organisms that took billions off years to mutate. Hell, some people think we are genetically made and bred from E.T. No one really knows the answer of how our species came to existence. So if people want to, speak information they read in a book or from the internet, let them. Everyone has to be wrong in the sense that no one really knows what we are or where we came from.
We're going back to eating bananas because evolution to be a science must work backwards. As a whole, we're non-productive.
