Miss Ignorance USA 2011 discusses Evolution in school

This video of the Miss USA 2011 contestants displays the core of the issue regarding science education. The vast majority of these people do not understand what science is or how it works. The vast majority of these people do not understand what evolution is or how it works. They seem to equate the acceptance of a consensus scientific understanding with belief. They seem to think that there are two sides of some debate. This is what you get when ideology and religion is allowed to dictate education policy regarding what is science.

Evolution is a chronological change in allelic frequency within reproducing populations.

If we are to change the definition of science to allow the teaching of intelligent design creationism alongside the teaching of evolution, we should also teach,

Flat earthism and geocentrism alongside heleocentrism
Alchemy alongside chemistry
Astrology alongside astronomy
Witchcraft alongside physics
Intelligent falling alongside gravity

Some of these ladies clearly have a much better understanding than others. For the record, the more intelligent chicks are definitely hotter!

This is a completely false dichotomy. It's not science on one side and creationism/ID on the other. Creationism is NOT science; it is informed by the Bible and religious dogma. I'm not advocating that we should tell children what to believe, but the concept of Evolution is derived from a pursuit of knowledge based on experimentation and evidence. Teach Creationism in Sunday School if you want to, not in the public school system.

"I'm a huge science geek, so I like to believe in the big bang theory."

IS THAT WHAT QUALIFIES AS A "HUGE SCIENCE GEEK" IN AMERICA? ACCEPTING BASIC SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES?

[bogati143]

teaching evolution alongside of creationism is like teaching horse alongside of unicorn

I'm glad Miss Campanella of California ended up winning this pageant. Not terribly eloquent here but describing herself as a "huge science geek" gives her a lot of points for awesomeness, IMHO.

we just completed our new sci fi movie called Evolution Creek giving power to both sides of evolution and creation, check it out and decide for yourself! search for Evolution Creek and check out our trailer

@haudace

then again i gotta slap myself in the face because water is actually useful.

[haudace]

evolution and religion? the expression apple and oranges wouldn't even help here. i'd have to make up another one: sun and water. guess which one is the sun? let me answer that: evolution. put water near the sun.

Guys don't you diss Britanny Toll at 9:50. One chick said something right for once.

@TotalImplosion

You made the claim that evolution was stupid. It's your job to explain why. If you can't explain it then you're just another bratty creationist fundie who doesn't like to hear the truth.
