Is TBSEF against teaching evolution?
No, we are not. We want more to be taught about evolution, not less. We advocate that existing Texas law be enforced that requires that weaknesses of theories, including evolution, be taught. But there are several aspects of this that are worth careful elaboration. First, what is meant when the word evolution is used? To some evolution simply indicates the change over time of something, anything in fact. Clearly this is a concept that is inherent to existence in time. To many evolution carries the assumption that mutations plus natural selection can explain all in the life sciences and the history of life. Some seem to think that this is so well established that it is unquestioned and unquestionable. This is certainly a reasonable hypothesis to test and evaluate but some scientists are not at all satisfied that this kind of hypothesis has been verified very well. There are two major subdivisions of evolution that need to be recognized and considered: micro-evolution and macro-evolution
