> You call Moorad "stubborn" and commented on the "invincible
ignorance" because he wants to teach the controversy. Count me with
Moorad. If we cannot teach the controversy and the problems with the
theories in any discipline then we will never search for better, more
valid theories.

> In geology, the theories before plate tectonics had many flaws.
Because science searched for a better explanation, the new theory was
developed. While plate tectonics also has flaws, it is still better
than previous theories. Unless we research the theories and the flaws,
we will never learn more.
>
> Let's always teach the controversies.
Fine, but the "controversy" should be taught in classes that deal with
the areas in which controversy exists - in this case religion,
sociology or political science. What is misleading is to suggest that
there is serious controversy in science about whether or not evolution
has occurred.
