Kansas State School Board At It Once Again

Paisano, thanks for the reminder to get back on topic.If this isn't possible then the topic may need a break.

Hi, and welcome to our new member. (one so close to home too! I will be over there next weekend.)This isn't the place to discuss it but you have a some significant misunderstandings of the basics of evolutionary theory. The worst being the mushing together of random mutations and natural selection into
"random selection". This is shows an utter misunderstanding.I suggest you review the Biological evolution threads and post your comments there. You might use google (advanced search) to search just this site for speciation for one thing. You may also use the site's built in search function.If you have further questions or need clarification you may post questions to the appropriate forum.If you don't think there is one that is appropriate then you might post to the "Proposed New Topics" thread. If you ask about speciation and how it occurs there you will get a tonne of answers.

Your post is clear and makes some good points.However, this is a rather focussed thread involving the Kanas situation. It would end up a long way off topic if we followed your thoughts.You could add it to An educational angle we all could live with? (Philosophy of Science) or should creationism be taught in schools? or another thread perhaps.It might also make a good opening post for a new thread. The "why" issue hasn't been focussed on that I can remember. In fact I recommend you post a PNT (proposed new topics)
