has gloss | eng: "Strengths and weaknesses of evolution" is a controversial phrase that has been proposed for (and in Texas introduced into) public school science curricula. Those proposing the phrase, such as Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) chairman Don McLeroy, purport that there are weaknesses in the theory of evolution and in the evidence that life has evolved that should be taught for a balanced treatment of the subject of evolution. The scientific community rejects that any substantive weaknesses exist in this scientific theory, or in the data that it explains, and views the examples that have been given in support of the phrasing as being without merit and long refuted. This has led scientists and journalists to conclude that this phrase is creationist code-language, and represents an attempt to introduce religion into science courses. |
