Florida Debate On Teaching Evolution As A Fact In K-12 Classrooms

Feb. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Funny how 80 years ago the ACLU was demanding that evolution AND creation models of origins be taught in public schools as mandated by the Constitutional requirement of neutrality to competing ideologies of origins. This was the purpose of the famous Scopes trial in 1925.
However as evidenced yesterday at the Orlando hearing on changing science curriculum in public schools- it was apparent that now the forces of intolerance and dogmatic exclusiveness were evident by the ACLU's insistence that any criticism of evolution or inclusion of the alternative models of origins were a violation of church and state. This seemed to be the attitude of many of the administrators in the public school system as well.
In fact the intent of these changes to public school curriculum is to indoctrinate children into the believing evolution is a fact and as a result that any and all scientific criticism of this molecule to man theory by mutation and natural selection to be irrelevant or simply ignored as idiotic. It seems that there is an inquisition of belief in our academia that is blind or unwilling to acknowledge that evolution is a theory in crisis and that the scientific foundations of neo-Darwinism are in fact crumbling all around us as new discoveries in cellular research, dna, biology, information systems etc. run in opposition to the evolution hypothesis. In fact it appears that any notable scientist who dares question evolutionary theory runs the risk of losing his job, noble prize nomination, publishing rights, etc. as happened to Sir Fred Hoyle, Dr. Robert Gentry, Dr. Wilder-Smith and numerous others in the recent past.
As I testified at this hearing-in my 26 years study on this subject I am certain of only one thing- that BOTH models of origins require a giant leap of faith as both macro-evolution and creation models are historic events or require vast ages of time. When men like Dr. Wilder Smith who has 3 Phd's in organic chemistry & pharmacology can succesfully argue the creation case against evolutionists like Richard Dawkins(Huxley Debate in Oxford,England in 1986) I'd say that this issue is far more complex than most realize. In such a case...both evidences scientifically should be taught and debated in school for in such an atmosphere true education and critical thinking takes place. Read Dr. Wilder-Smith's book "A Scientific Alternative to Neo-Darwinian Evolution" for a world class scientist's critique of the chemical impossibility of macro-evolution.
