The New York Times "Science" section yesterday carried the story, "On Evolution, Biology Teachers Stray From the Lesson Plan." The article goes on to describe the research results outta Penn State found in the 1/28/11 issue of the prestigious journal Science, saying only 28% of teachers actually teach evolution -- but that 13% actually teach creation in their classes! Yeah, for our side!
The article lies (or believes a lie) when it says that teaching creation science has been declared "unconstitutional" -- that's just an urban myth -- as anyone can check on! And if it was illegal, wouldn't 13% of all teachers be put in prison? They said 25% of all sci teachers in Michigan teach creation! ( I just --knew-- Michigan was cool ! ) So, it's not just in the southern "Bible Belt" regions.
Well, what do the evo-Sith Lords of evolution have to say about the survey results??
Dr. Moore is doubtful that more education is the answer. “These courses aren’t reaching the creationists,” he said. “They already know what evolution is. They were biology majors, or former biology students. They just reject what we told them." Well gee, I wonder why !!
“With 15 to 20 percent of biology teachers teaching creationism,” he continued, “this is the biggest failure in science education. There’s no other field where teachers reject the foundations of their science like they do in biology.” Well gee, again -- guess why !! You keep thinking. DrJ
