I don’t think that you understand what you are saying.

Science is a system of testing, not of belief. When you accept a scientific result, science ends and belief begins. Testing must be continuous, never-ending, otherwise science is meaningless.

I do not mean to imply that evolution did not occur and is not occurring. What I say is that the evolutionary record is incredibly sparse, with many false connections and incorrect assumptions. The evolutionary record has been completely re-arranged several times in my lifetime, and the changes are speeding up rather than slowing.

Freezing the record as it is now and teaching it as fact is doing a dis-service to our students, turning science into something else entirely.
