I have taken ENTIRE UNIVERSITY COURSES on evolution and molecular evolution. Obviously this entailed more than 4-5 pages of one textbook.

My daily life as a Scientists deals with the impact of “macro”evolutionary theory in the applicability of research species.

Just because you or members of your family did not receive a sufficient education in the subject does not mean that it is not an essential subject.

And, seeings as your original claim lays in shambles, now you just wish to speak about how little you and yours ever needed to learn about it or use it. Well good for you and yours. Me and mine need to know it and use it every day.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Congratulations! Was this macro-evolution or micro-evolution? Big difference!

By the way, I, too, took **entire university courses** that involved micro-evolution. Macro-evolution ( the processes needed for the **appearances** of Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. ) was **NEVER** discussed, except to classify something in its proper niche. In my introductory course in biology we spent about 20 minutes of class time on macro-evolution.

Apparently, the distinguished author of my daughter's college text for biology majors agrees with me. He included 4 to 5 pages of information on macro-evolution ( the possible processes needed for the **appearances** of Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.) This distinguish biologist apparently believes that this was quite enough for the typical university biology **major**.

I will admit that it has been 3 decades since **I** ( personally) took all these courses, and am willing to admit that things may have changed. I do ***know** though, and testify that my daughter's college level text of BIOLOGY MAJORS devoted a mere 4 or 5 pages to macro-evolution (the possible processes needed for the **appearances** of Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. ).

So?....What claim do you think I am making?

The **main** point of my posts is that few scientists ( and even biologists) are intimately working with macro-evolution( the processes needed for the **apperances** of Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. ) and don't give it nano-second’s thought!

Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.

*Some will choose an atheistic worldview and teach science in a materialist manner with secular humanist political, cultural, and religious consequences.

* Some will take the **exact same content** taught by the first group but teach it within a framework of a God-centered worldview. This too will have political and cultural consequences. ( I fall into this group and whattajoke **dares** to call **me** a creationist? UNBELIEVABLE!)

* And some will ignore macro-evolution completely. I don't agree with these people, but if their kids don't get this information it is not a lifetime catastrophe. They are not likely to need it for their life's work, and if they do, they can **easily** make up the difference with a course at a community college.

Geeee....what an ENORMOUS waste of money! Any chance at getting a refund? Strike that...how about any chance of getting help from a de-programmer?
