It isn't. The anti-evolution forces don't want what you recommend - they want evolution to be taught as unverified speculation. You know over-exaggerating the uncertainties and implications of the uncertainties much like global warming skeptics do.<br /><br />oh and spam..<br />http://nailsandcoffins.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/anthony-watts-misleading-his-readers.htmlaaaaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666181105235020296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837843.post-71815573839881366162012-03-19T14:51:05.334-07:002012-03-19T14:51:05.334-07:00"Teach the Controversy!!!" is exactly wh..."Teach the Controversy!!!" is exactly what they want.

When people are learning, it is hard enough as it is. To have to layer on top a selection of "here are some wrong arguments, and here is how to refute them" won't make it easier. GW is the obvious example that I'm thinking of. But you could have others.
