Teachers of science have a duty to reveal the workings of nature even if it means challenging their faith?

Mintz asked the question:


While researching for another question I came across psychologist Susan Blackmore’s blog on The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/sep/04/religion.evolution where she argues in favour of the above statement (actually I couldn’t fit it in verbatim I had to paraphrase it should read “Those who teach our children science have a duty to reveal the workings of nature – even if it means challenging their faith”).

What stuck me is that reading some of the posts here, it’s very clear that many fundamentalists or creationists simply have no idea what evolution actually means. Someone said in response to another question “what are alligators evolving INTO ? dogs ? “.

Susan Blackmore’s blog post says :

“In my experience it is understanding, not evidence, that opens minds. If someone really understands how natural selection works then … gulp, jaw drop, stare, think … suddenly the world looks different. All previous ideas are thrown up in the air.

I guess this happened to me when I first read The Selfish Gene. I have seen it happen to many, many others in my lectures and classes.

It may seem odd to say so, but most people do not understand natural selection. Perhaps they never learnt about it at school, or perhaps they did understand it once but then forgot. I have explained it to intelligent students who assumed that they already understood it but when asked to explain it they could not. Darwin’s great idea is so simple, and yet so slippery. So in case you are one of those, here it is in a nutshell – plants and animals produce far more (slightly varying) offspring than can possibly survive. Starvation, disease, predation, and unattractiveness mean that only a few go on to breed again. At each step the survivors pass on whatever adaptations helped them and so gradually they become better designed. You could call it “design by death”. Like a human creating a sculpture by chipping away wood, nature’s weeding-out is the force that creates new design.

Once you get it that’s that! How can you go on believing that God created humans in his own image when you can see, because you really understand the principle, that nature’s cruel and wasteful selective process can create all that design without him?”

So should teachers simply explain very very clearly what evolution REALLY is, and make sure that students REALLY understand it?How ard can it be?

I’ve just realised that because I edited down the original statement it now reads like the teachers should challenge their own faith. Well we could throw that in as a question, but the question was meant to be referring to the faith of the children being taught.

What is the name of, or where can i find a pic of this art

jessica G asked the question:


In high school we learned about various artists and peices. My husband and I graduated from the same high school. I was very interested in the arts, and he dreaded going to art classes. In one of classes we took together, our art teacher was discussing a famous, or semi famous peice, it may have been a sculpture, i dont even remember. It really looks like someone was burried under the ground with their butt sticking out. This peice completely effected my husbands view on art. To poke fun at him, I would love to find a photo of it and hang it in his rec room. If you have any idea about the art with the butt sticking out of the ground, please let me know. any info appreciated

I wrote this essay for Buffalo StateCollege would you except me ?

Curious asked the question:


My Gpa is 1.75 ( C+ ) student, and i havent sent in my SAT scores yet but i have GREAT recommendation letters from 3 teachers and i sent them this essay do you think they would still except me ?

Buffalo State Here I Come!

Art. Art has so many different means to it. Dancing, Singing, Drawing, Acting, Photography. Art is man made and anyone can produce it, but can anyone determine the true means of art? Growing up I expressed my self in so many different ways. Through ages 6-10 i began to draw and i loved it, but as i got older other things got in the way if me drawing. School began to take up so much time and i was always busy. From ages 11-14 i began to go to plays and broadway shows. I loved acting the fact that you can be someone you know you would never be for a moment in time, but plays became exspensive now age 17 i express my self through my apparel. Last year for christmas i recieved a sewing machine and haven’t put it down since. I love making clothing you’ll never see anyone have and being unique. Therefor this is why Buffalo State College would be a great way for me to experience and persue my career in the fashion industry while doing other things i love aswell.
You safe and beautiful campus would be a place I’d like to call home for four years of my life. The bicycle police patrol will keep me feeling safe and your sculptures on campus would be great eye candy. Rockwell hall will keep me entertained with the music and Art conservation. Cambell Student union will be a good place for me to furthur my literature knowledge and buy books at Barne’s Noble. Moot Hall will keep me finacially organised wich is a major for someone like me. Also plays at Upton hall would be great for me as well, I even plan on joining the Theater Production Program. I’m really interested to see that your school has performed The Sophicles of Oedipus: The Antigone story, which i have recently read and performed parts of as well.
The main reason for me attending Buffalo State would be for your student Fashion Assosiation. It can help me gain knowlege about fashion and textiles that are nessary. And the Regional and National Compitions within the Fashion Industry are an amazing way for me to show how i have the necessaties to bring up one step closer to victory. Also Internships that are offered will help me to obtain my goal to get a great job and persue a career with a major apparel or textile company.
Although throughout the years i have suffered academically, the arts stayed alive. I have changed as a student and also as a person, and learned that if you really want something you must work hard for it. I know i would be a great student a buffalo state and possible stand out. I’m easy going and friendly and very charitable, getting accepted to one of my top choice colleges would be a great contribute to my mortification as a student and I can’t wait to wear my Buffalo State sweatshirt with a smile.
Accept me**

Why do parents complain, whether you are introvert or not ?

\/eemon asked the question:


My parents complain to my older brother that he drinks and goes out too much, yet they turn back and complain to me, because I don’t go out enough.

I have been drawing since I was 4, I picked up guitar at 7, as a child I spent hours building things out of lego ; now the lego has been replaced by more “professional” tools ,and I sometimes build figurines….. all of these hobbies can be persued in solitude, and I get more enjoyment out of these hobbies than I do from any party !

Why can’t they understand this !

My parents have always encouraged me to recreate as well as work..yet they seem to think that because my recreation mostly solitary… they think it doesn’t count and would rather I go out and ” do what young people do.”
Truth is.. I am not a shy person I have friends at college, I have a girlfriend.. I debate issues with professors when I feel the need too. and I feel at ease giving a speech. I just don’t like partying.

Its semester break for Christmas, and since my girlfriend and I live far apart..we’re keep in touch by phone. Since I have some free time, i’m working on another sculpture. Although my mother is making it frstrating by her frequent complaining.

But isn’t recreation supposed to be fun ? Why should I have to go out partying if I don’t find it fun.

I find much more fulfilment in seeing a drawing to completion, learning a new song on guitar.. or seeing a character take shape as I am building it……. than I have EVER gotten at a party.

Parties bore me. I’d rather sit with a few friends for a drink than go clubbing.
