religious couple teaching
I abandoned my religious teachings after I read the Bible twice - cover to cover. It took me a couple of years.
teaching people together
Incidentally, the creationists that I've encountered diligently deny that our Earth's climate is being altered by people. This point of view and teaching is in absolutely no one's best interest. Here's hoping we can work together and preserve the Earth, for us - us humans.
teaching class alternatives
Teaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate.
teacher looks entertaining
If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.
biology main people science talk teach
We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.
believe evolution gravity
Evolution is not something you can believe in or not believe in like do you believe in gravity.
book keys years
Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology. The key to our being here now is time, 4.54 billion (Earth) years of time. Nuclear fission wasn't discovered until long after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace published their original books and papers, for example. Our ability to measure atomic masses wasn't developed until long after their deaths. These features of nature enabled us to reckon the age of the Earth and compare it with speciation rates here.
hopeful coal burning
Without an end to the burning of fossil fuels, coal especially, most of us will live shorter lives. I'm hopeful, but very, very concerned.
forests tribes might
If you just take a single human and put him or her in the forest he or she might not do very well without some sort of education which he got or she got from some tribe.
religious strong mutual-support
People get a lot out of being religious. They have strong senses of community and mutual support. So, what's not to love [there]?
law goal conflict
Our goal in science is to discover universal laws of nature. If one's faith requires one to abandon or ignore natural laws, well, that person is going to have trouble reconciling religion and science. Otherwise, there is no any conflict.
crazy years earth
Religion is a completely different thing from the claim that the Earth is six thousand years old. That's just crazy.
apples taste next
The thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.
people shapes might
The strange thing about grinding that might surprise many people is that you can grind things and shape them using materials that are generally somewhat softer than the thing you're grinding and shaping.
