A Teacher on the Front Line

For a start Campbells' Mickey Mouse analogy is a false analogy. Disney changed Mickey to maintain appeal amongst his audience. An intelligent designer, no doubt.It's encouraging to see that the students don't buy his opinions as science.What is discouraging however, is that you can fail a biology test for not believing in the TOE. And that you can't become a biological scientist unless you adopt the consensus of the biological scientific community, the same group of people who establish the consensus. A self fulfilling prophesy in the making.As far a his bouncing the ball comparison with evolution, well he is really stretching his parallelism.I think of a bird sitting up a tree trying to crack a nut. He knows if he drops it, it's going to fall to the ground. He also knows that he has to crack it before dark or else he won't be able to see to fly back home. He finally cracks the nut and eats it's contents     and then sits back and wonders how his great great uncle Rex would have dealt with his situation.
