Some major science textbook publishers for South Korea's secondary schools have deleted examples of Darwinism, bowing to petitions by a group that calls evolution "an unconfirmed theory."
In science, the word "theory" doesn't mean the same thing it means in layman's terms. What laymen would call a "law" is what scientists call a "theory." On the other hand, laymen call a "theory" is what scientists would call either "a hypothesis" or "ignorant unfounded bullshit," depending on the statement in question. Gravity is also a "theory." If you want to question the scientific definition of "theory," then go jump off a cliff. Go on. After all, gravity is "just" a "theory."
"We are an academic research society that aims to delete the errors [relating to] evolution, which is an unconfirmed theory," STR President Lee Gwang-won said. "It is important to revise the textbooks and teach the students that evolution is just one of the theories, as it affects how students form their view of the world. "
If you what you had to say was worth taking seriously, then you would understand that "unconfirmed theory" is a fucking oxymoron in science.
And what, pray tell, are these other "theories" you speak of, who are the scientists that support them, in which peer-reviewed academic publications are their findings available, and which other scientists have reported reproducing these findings? If these "theories" existed and you weren't pulling nonsense out of your arse, then you should be able to easily provide this information. Why haven't you?
Lee denied his organization is affiliated with Christian groups or creationist scientists.
I smell bullshit.
But Han Jungyeol, spokesman for the Korea Assn. for Creation Research, told the science journal Nature that the STR is an independent offshoot of his association.
Sure enough.
People who don't understand basic high-school biology should have absolutely no influence in science-education policy, so blatant anti-intellectuals who actively
refuse to even
try to understand it because it uncomfortably disagrees with their preconceived notions of reality certainly should not.
