The question is as dumb as asking "Should algebra be taught in school?" Of course evolution should be taught. It should be part of every lesson in a biology class because evolution is the foundation of biology. Even though the question was ridiculously easy virtually all of these young airheads answered the question incorrectly. Some said "No, don't teach it. It's too controversial." as if there was a controversy about basic scientific facts. Most of these Idiots-For-Jeebus said teach it as one of many viewpoints, as if basic scientific facts are just opinions. They actually said biology teachers should teach religious alternatives to science if they're going to teach evolution. These drooling morons are too stupid to realize they want to throw out our constitution. They're too stupid to realize no competent biology teacher would ever preach the Christian Bible in their science classrooms. In other words these Retards-For-Jeebus are typical Americans.
A large number of these "beautiful ladies" have extremely stupid looking faces. They look like dogs and they're definitely dumber than dogs. How did they get in this contest to represent America as Miss USA?
These Assholes-For-Jeebus frequently called evolution a belief (as if basic scientific facts require faith), equal to a belief in magical creationism. They obviously learned nothing in their biology classes, and again this makes them typical Americans.
Of course a young woman who chooses to be in these contests is not likely to be very bright (they're all retards). But this only means they're average because the average American is an idiot.
Americans have defective brains but their worst problem is they are very likely to get stuck with a biology teacher who knows nothing about biology, a teacher so incompetent his or her students learn nothing or next to nothing about the foundation of biology. Since evolution is the most interesting and most exciting fact of science, and since they learn nothing about it, the students never learn how to love science. Instead they are bored in their science classrooms and they learn how to hate science.
Is it too much to expect an American biology teacher to know something about biology? In any other career these people would be fired for incompetence but in Idiot America nobody complains about bad science teachers. There are only complaints when the teacher is excellent. Please read These cowardly Christian assholes harassed, threatened, and yelled at an elderly female biology teacher.
There's a limit, though, to how far even scientific-minded teachers are willing to push evolution, because of our education system's strict dogmas of equality of ability.
ReplyDeleteEvery real scientist accepts that humans proceeded from other primates, probably in Africa, and headed to different parts of the world, experiencing genetic changes in hair, noses and melanin in adaptation to local conditions. A few differences in certain physiological skills changed too, like Andean's large lung capacity and West African's ability to sprint. Where almost all draw the line, though, is any mental ability, because there's a current dogma that must not be breached that humans from everywhere must be equally intelligent, as well as equally moral, curious, lawful, etc.
Does it take more brains to practice agriculture around a part-year season than to forage year-round? Of course. Would evolution select for that? Why wouldn't it? Did Africa remain more primitive than the rest of the world, because there were the fewest pressures to evolve beyond the skills the pre-human primates needed? That's the question schools can't let evolution get to.
WMarkW, I greatly appreciate your comments because I rarely get visitors as knowledgeable as you are.
ReplyDeleteIn the section called The Sticky Question of Race in Why Evolution is True Jerry Coyne writes on page 216 "My guess--and this is just informed speculation--is that human races are too young to have evolved important differences in intellect and behavior."
I have noticed a person's mental ability depends more on the environment that person grew up in than on any difference in races.
