Debunking Myths About Evolution
An editorial in the Virginian Pilot in Hampton Roads debunks the myths about evolution and says it deserves to be taught confidently:
No reputable scientist seriously doubts the theory of evolution. It is — along with the law of gravity, say, or germ theory — as close to truth as scientific theory gets. Still, polls show that a substantial portion of Americans believe evolution isn’t supported by evidence, and that many scientists doubt it. Neither of those things is true.
