Please know that not all home school parents are religious nut jobs who refuse to teach actual scientific facts to their children. As an atheist home school family, we use MIT open courseware for our high school children. Real science, no mythos. Dont blame the home school concept, place the blame directly on the deluded christian parents, exactly where it belongs.
"The bird could not make teeth, because it only has genes for bird parts"
Funny GLaDOS should say that, as when I was taking my Biochemistry course I was privy to an experiment where hormones were applied to a chicken embryo to try inducing dormant genes to be expressed.
One experiment, applying only hormones formed a chicken embryo, with a beak... and teeth. The genes for teeth seemed to have been lying dormant in the chicken's DNA since its dinosaur ancestors.
people like you believe that tolerance of another's person's perspective is of the utmost importance, however you, sir, are 100% intolerant of her take on the world and its orgin. It doesn't matter what I think about it. But I do know that when someone disagrees with you, you think they are "Sick." I can tell you one thing with no evidence, and that is that science didn't advance to where it is now, by people calling others beliefs "sick." Science advances observation and open mindedness.
I don't know what she is expecting, is she expecting some horrible mutant half-fish half-ape that is both no good surviving as a fish and no good surviving as an ape?
Well, there are many fossil examples of transition organisms but clearly she has not really looked for them.
yo einstein, science is more comfortable with evo being factual than gravity, and with the dna code and gnome guess what the factual data is indisputeable. to a thinking person. please read some real science your a disgrace to higher learning
However, she may not have poked a hole in evolution, she HAS poked a hole in the way it is TAUGHT.
I did not learn about speciation till I reached University level of education so I believe that a high school level at least it should cover how one species can over many generations become a distinct species.
Although I am a Christian, this person is misrepresenting what schools teach as evomution. Microevolution, continues to evolve and evolve until there is something else. There are no "Big" changes, but rather many small changes that occur over a long time. after a while, yes there is a very big difference.
I will pray that this person learns that lieing about what schools teach is a sin. Lieing is lieing.
Whoever that was who said Micro-Evolution is true but Macro-Evolution is false, is requiring two different standards for evidence. The means in which she found evidence for Micro-evolution CAN EQUALLY be used to prove macro-evolution. She doesn't explain why she there should be a double standard.
My apologies, I typed my comment wrong, I should have said evidence of transitional fossils. That's what you get for typing tired. Seems there's even more transitional fossils than I thought, though.
"is there a point?" For those who on the fence possibly. Although I'm beginning to wonder how many people, are on the fence watch, these videos. Although as philhellenes said, if he could reach one person and change his/her mind it's worth it.
For her, no way. She'll block it with her Holy Shield of Deliberate Ignorance.
Money guides these people -- they have to keep the religious thing going or they loose money jobs, etc. We are going to see more of these desperate attempts to keep people from leaving religion-- we ain't seen nothin yet.
You know I do think this approach is going to back fire on the religious community in the long run. 30 years ago people really had to look for information now it pretty much runs at you screaming Look at ME! Children will grow up will find out they were lied to and will resent and rebel against the people who have lied to them.

I'm not going to judge her because I have not, but you put this out there and don't have anything to back it up...
Why can't you let her and others believe something different than you?
There was this man long ago that said the world was round and no one believed him...
MamaDawn3 2 years ago
"There was this man long ago that said the world was round and no one believed him" and science proved him correct.
Science has proved creation to be wrong and evolution to be true.
My problem is that the books are being used to teach child - the future of society - that creationism is true science.

but birds do have the genes for teeth. there are birds with teeth not far from where i live.
and the gaps in the macroevolutionary map are closing on a near daily basis.

Hahahah, no matter how many times you hear that crap it´s always funny, sad and infuriating at the same time.
This is the first time I heard them say that birds don´t have the genes to produce teeth. If only she knew. :D
I´m glad that the truth is finally fully dressed. Science sure took it´s time to get to where it is now, but it´s here to stay.
