| Don't any of you have kids in school suffering through this stuff? Teachers of biology have a hard enough fight on their hands without the books themselves telling the students not to give it any credence. Even after a year of evolution-infused biology, students still believe in their home-grown version of creationism. It took college and med school for a nephew of mine to get past the naive creationism he was taught and to understand that evolution is an established fact and that it is the only way to understand mutating diseases and drug resistance. He now easily and gently reconciles the two -- there is not a problem with him still seeing the hand of god in such things. But he at least understands and believes the science now.
