Re: Well yes -what would we teach....???
Here's the curious thing. Creos, cdesign proponentists, and anti-science types of various stripes have been arguing for many or most of those points for at least 30 years. If there were even the slightest scintilla of evidence supporting any of them, wouldn't we see it by now? More importantly, given that real scientists accepted creation as the prevailing paradigm for hundreds of years before Darwin, why didn't they turn up any evidence of them?

Unless the evidence opposing the theory does not exactly hit the headlines.
Well, since I don't limit myself to reading headlines, I tend to pick up a lot that others miss. For instance, I've noticed that many people here have asked you to provide evidence to support your contentions. I shall join the herd and ask you to provide evidence of all the discoveries that creos and cdesign proponentists have made over the years to support their positions.
That was in the days when they imagined that a simple cell is actually just some sort of blob -real simple -with that sort of information, one can imagine how the evolutionary hypothesis came to be accepted. With the current knowledge available to us, it is no longer such a simple possibility.
You completely missed my point. Before the ToE was accepted, most scientists believed in and worked under a creation paradigm. If what you are saying is true, there should be some evidence from that time to support it, since it's what all scientists were doing. Where's that evidence?
