Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]
I know more than you about evolution. At least human evolution. Evolution is a scientific fact and is unanimously accepted as such in the scientific community, with something like 99.8% of biologists agreeing. What you are thinking of is Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection.
I don't believe most high school students have the same level of intellect or understanding that even I had in the early 1990. I wouldn't teach creation in schools. What I would do us to teach the scientific theories on the beginning of the world as theories instead if as the only acceptable option in the discussion.
The problem is that you will not generally hear those qualifiers in a high school biology or earth science class.
True. However you (or at least the school departments) can choose not to wave a red flag in front of the bull by suggesting there are no alternatives.
