“I am glad to see we are agreed it is just a theory.”
THere’s the fact of evolution, the biology changes that occur and have been recorded, and there’s the theory of evolution, which explains the facts.
there’s nothing ‘mere’ about the theory.
"Not a fact as it is taught in public schools.”
It’s a fact AND a theory. Which you don’t understand in the slightest.
"And yes, IG I know the teachers still call it the theory of evolution, but any disagreement is met with ridicule.”
Because ‘theory’ doesn’t mean ‘guesswork.’ It’s not the disagreement, it’s the illiteracy that’s ridiculed.
“One article handed out to my son last year said only religious zealots and poor, ignorant people from the south tended not to believe in evolution.”
Uh…yeah. Not much of a secular movement to reject ToE. And using the phrase ‘just a theory’ reflects pretty specific ignorance.
“I will try to find the paper and give out the name of the guiy who wrote it if I can.”
So, doxing the author rather than refuting the claims?
“But this was handed out in class by the science teacher.”
Okay.
“I do not advocate teaching religion in public schools, BTW. They can't teach math and reading very well so I sure do not want them teaching religious beliefs.”
Especially since the god-botherers always lose those lawsuits.
