How Important is Evolution

[Kanamori]

I mean the teaching of it? Do we really need to be taught Darwinism to build a fission reactor?

You certainly do not need it to build a fission reactor, but you need it to understand how species are grouped into philum, genus and such.

I'm not trying to be a sarcastic, smart-ass, either. I'm just wondering aloud really.

And I also meant the fission reactor as an example, not a specific. Essentially, what branches of science are based on evolution? Certainly modern biology and zoology.

It's just that the outcry that goes "If we allow Intelligent Design, we'll revert back to the Stone Age" doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

The Stone Age argument isn't really meant ot mean we revert to the Stone Age, why should anyone even believe it.

It is meant to express a devolution of society I guess (note the pun ).

Yes teaching it is important. It proves that God is dead, which is the goal of how many people on this board?

Much of biology uses the theory, so yes, it should be taught.

Neitzche is dead, but due to the nature of Humanity there shall always exist caves in which his shadow can be seen.

I am the man.
