Children should be taught about evolution to prevent them mistaking Barney and Fred Flintstone for scientific fact, an academic has claimed.

The failure to teach primary school children scientific truth is playing into the hands of advocates of creationism - according to James Williams, lecturer in education at Sussex University. picked by Bingo 5 months ago

It's not "just" a theory, fossil record gaps prove nothing and science classrooms should shun creationism. Overzealous creationists might want to pay particular attention, and those who accept evolution may learn something, too. picked by TheStep 2 years ago

On the 28 June, The Science Education Act was passed as law in the State of Louisiana. This piece of legislature now allows teachers in this US state to present non-scientific alternatives to evolution, global warming and cloning – including ideas related to intelligent design. Opponents fear that Louisiana teachers are now free to present evolution and other targeted topics as matters of de... read full post picked by bingo 1 year ago

Here is a great video series about the serious mistakes that creationists make when trying to characterize evolution, or science in general. Links to the rest of the series are in the first two comments. picked by Hypersapien 11 months ago

Pope Benedict XVI said the debate raging in some countries — particularly the United States and his native Germany — between creationism and evolution was an “absurdity,” saying that evolution can coexist with faith. picked by sidran32 4 months ago

When a high school history teacher told his students that creationism was “superstitious nonsense,” he violated a student’s First Amendment rights, a Federal judge ruled this week. "Just as the government shouldn’t promote religion, he writes, the government shouldn’t actively disapprove of religion either." picked by equinox 7 months ago

He also taught creationism in his science class and failed to remove a Bible and other religious materials from his classroom. I love this comment - "With the exception of the cross-burning episode ... I believe John Freshwater is teaching the values of the parents in the Mount Vernon school district." Well sure, aside from the whole maiming schoolchildren with RF radiation thing... picked by belvario 1 year ago

The theory of evolution provides humankind with more than just a scientific narrative of life’s origins and progression. It also yields invaluable technologies. Understanding of evolution is fostering powerful technologies for health care, law enforcement, ecology, and all manner of optimization and design problems picked by muppet 12 months ago

There seems to be an ongoing debate here at Plime. It goes something like this:
"There is no evidence for evolution, other than questionable fossil records!"

A standing offer of $250,000 to anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution.* My $250,000 offer demonstrates that the hypothesis of evolution is nothing more than a religious belief. picked by eastcoast1978 11 months ago

"If someone believes that the earth is 6,000 years old and every scientist in the world is saying that it is billions of years old, why shouldn't I take that into account when I am assessing the rationality of someone I am going to put into the highest office in the land?" picked by pulsisx 2 years ago
