Default Re: State Legislators Seek Bills to Allow Questioning of Evolution Theory in Schools

Yes, well, scientists got the dinosaur thing correct right off the bat.
I mean they all evolved into alligators, right? --no, wait-birds--they evolved into birds! --no--wait...

Scientific method refers to the body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. It is based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[1] A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.[2]Scientific method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I contend it is not possible to test a hypothesis on either evolution or intelligent design, therefore one of two courses of action should be taken by the public school system: offer both as intelligent guesses/food for thought within a course of scientific study.
Or number two, of course, teach neither, nor offer either proposal up for discussion by and/or with a student educated at the discretion of pubic funding.
