Comment on Not just hobbits, kiwis and sheep by verdant1

And this is one reason why extinction is not always an entirely bad thing – for the rest of us anyway. I know it kinda sucks for the eagles!
Speaking as a New Zealander trying to raise kids here, I’m quite grateful that I don’t have to constantly worry about giant eagle-lions swooping down and carrying off my young – or me for that matter!
Althouhgh they would have had a great time with all the possums we’d rather not have here…

Comment on Getting ID confused with Science. Still happening… by wever

Hi Darren – I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t think it is a matter of ‘believing’ in evolution or not.

The point that the authors of this study are making is that confusion is rampant amongst people – in this case, teachers of science – who ought to know better.

Rationally, there is no better explanation for the diversity of life than the process of speciation through evolution by means of natural selection. To introduce an immeasurable influence – divinity, supernatural entities or whatever – is to take the discussion outside the bounds of scientific enquiry.

Arguments on the existence, or not, of a ‘designer’ are philosophical; they can be useful to help us form personal beliefs, but they don’t really belong as part of a science course. There ought to be somewhere else in the curriculum where they can be addressed.
Cheers

Hey Mr Wever,

Maybe evolution should be banned agianst Christian school, but there is no need for it to be banned at other schools. Learning about evolution doesn’t mean that you have to believe it. I am a christian and I don’t beleive in evolution but, but i still went along with it. It’t not bad just to know about it. It’s better to know some than none. It’s really the students choice.
