Evolution furor flares on Florida science proposals

Don Jordan, of the Palm Beach Post, reports that the state Board of Education will decide in February whether to approve an overhaul of state science standards that would make it a major topic in classrooms for the first time.

The proposed changes, which would require that students recognize that fossil evidence is consistent with the idea that human beings evolved from earlier species, have ignited a fierce debate among education officials and advocacy groups.

Opponents argue that evolution is merely a theory and that other explanations for the origins of life, such as intelligent design, also should be taught out of fairness.

Board member Kathryn Hensley supported the teaching of evolution, adding that "anything that is faith-based or religious-based just doesn't belong in the classroom."

-------------------------------

Any gaps in knowledge must be bridged by faith (belief), including gaps in knowledge regarding the theory of evolution. Since evolutionary biologists admit they don't yet understand the mechanisms that generate and change information (the HOW) of evolution, they too have to exercise faith. Therefore, their theory should not be included in the classroom.
