Biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, genetics - all those disciplines are awesome, hard, objective and definitive.

Evolution is soft and hand wavy and rides the coattails of the above mentioned.

Maybe they really have been studying DNA and that two different “kinds” cannot mate and paid attention as to how evolution came to be accepted as “religion” in schools all across the country on fraudulent information and very shifty evidence that later turned out to be pig’s tooth...

Whenever there are conflicting theories, in science or in any other field, all sides should be presented.

So students should learn about Evolution, and hear the evidence. But they should also learn about Creationism (in the general sense), and hear the evidence.

Not surprising as “evolution” has become the new inquisition. It is not about truth, it is about conformity. Remember Copernicus?

Drawing from focus groups held with 35 teacher-trainees at four universities in the Pennsylvania, they find that future science teachers often lack the knowledge, conviction, and role models needed to teach evolution with confidence.

IOW, they are idiots. Makes sense.

If they were intelligent and had knowledge they could easily explain TToE.

This is an indictment on the educational system, not TToE.

Ain't no straw man low enough...

I see the source is named ‘Creation Evolution Headlines’

But like most or all Creationist sources it talks exclusively about evolution and nothing about Creationism, “Look over there not over here” is Creationists motto.

If with all its holes and extrapolations and bias evolution were compared with the Noah’s Ark theory of Earths natural history, it becomes obvious to 99% cited above which looks way more like science.

Old Earth Creationists are my favorite crackpots

That is not to say what really happened, we will never know that.

"Majority of Biology Teachers Hesitant About Evolution"

Common, how difficult could it possibly be to work gay marriage into high school biology discussions about Darwinian Evolution.

Creationists assume that Evolution is necessarily God-less. I believe this is a mistake.

The vast majority of the evolutionary biologists I've known in my 60+ years believe in God, and believe that Evolution is simply one of the mechanisms USED BY GOD to accomplish His aims for Life. Only the most strident of atheistic secular scientists flat out deny that evolution plays a role in God's Plan, or conversely that God is the author of evolution. Unfortunately, Creationists give those extremists all the air-play.

There is plenty of evidence that species change over time. No intelligent Creationist would argue that God's magnificent Creation is a static frozen sculpture, forever unmoving, unchanging. How foolish! Creation is dynamic, alive, a reflection of God's Love and omnipotence!

I believe that Evolution is the action of God's mighty hand, continually creating and re-creating the range and diversity of living things.

That simple concept should not be hard to grasp.

YMMV.

It’s all reconciled via the clockmaker argument.

Pretty much the state of modern union teachers . . .

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

When people that normally tell the truth are put in a position where they have to lie, as in teaching evolution, they will always be uncomfortable.

I have degrees in science, geology and pharmacy and know a hell of a lot about chemistry.

I have held the rocks and bones in my hand. Evolution is real and a fact. To argue this is ridiculous. I do believe this as I have seen and held the facts in my hands.

However, the concept of a universe that was created from nothing some billions of years ago is totally illogical. Thus as a scientist the concept of the biblical explanation for man and the universe is equally valid as one of the universe being all from nothing.

The scientist in me says the biblical explanation is not valid. The scientist in me also recognizes that either explanation is equally valid as both are totally scientifically invalid.

good news. i guess there are some public school biology teachers who are able to divide scientific truth from atheistic faith indoctrination.

It’s a freaking theory that has a lot of problems.

When they talk about “teaching evolution” in high school, it’s important to discover what they actually mean.

In one sense, molecular evolution is trivial to demonstrate. Staphylococcus aureus will evolve penicillin resistance in a few days.

In the Darwinian sense, it’s impossible to demonstrate. You can’t “evolve” Staphylococcus aureus into Salmonella, or into a frog, no matter what you do. You can’t even demonstrate a mechanism that could over thousands of years lead to that result.

So, teach evolutionary adaptation within a species? Even Darwin’s stupid finches? Of course.

Teach the Origin of Species? Ridiculous.

Charles Darwin was a brilliant Christian and his genius brings great credit to The Church,as he rests today in Westminster Abby.
Charles Darwin proved that it was physically impossible for Noah to bring seven of the “Clean” and two of the “Unclean” species aboard the Ark in their present form and condition.
That Mankind cannot unravel the fabric of life woven by The Hand of God is of great importance,and,from time to time is often evidenced through the evolution of brilliant thought and experimentation , and therein is found the “Beauty of Evolution”.
