I wonder where my wings are...I mean if evolution is, indeed, fact. Where are my sixteen arms, my five eyes, my brand spankin new seven ears, my eight feet, and (of course) my wings? Where is all of this stuff???? If you take on evolution (like you guys seem to be doing) and apply it to humans....why are we not evolving? Yes you can say we are evolving into ...[text shortened]... o you should be worried about...they are our future. They need to know the CREATION STORY!!
Why would we have wings?
Where's the selection pressure for the evolution of wings?
If we lived in trees, maybe ... maybe, over millions of years we might develop wings, maybe not.
Sixteen arms and five eyes would put a fair load on a nervous system, don't you think? Two each seem to work pretty well for us. What's the advantage in having more that dramatically outweighs the disadvantages?
Can we please move on past this theory thing?
Calling a scientific model a theory is just another label for it being a model; a way of explaining something.
It doesn't refer to it being less than complete or less than correct.
It's not theory in the everyday usage of the term.
There are many examples of this - words we use in everyday life that have different meanings in other contexts.
As a secondary teacher I'm all too aware of our obligations to our students. As a father, I'm also aware of the incredible responsibility of raising thinking, critical beings.
I take that very seriously.
Rather than accepting the blind dogma of one religious book - full of inconsistencies and inaccuracies - based on the religion of my parents and their ancestors, I prefer to use the knowledge that all of us have developed, that people of all, and no, faiths have discovered and confirmed.
