sure you could do this, but why would you want to? its a pretty darn big piece of biology, and actually quite interesting and stimulates conversation. Why omit it?
Its not like there is a real scientific debate on the subject. And its a pretty basic concept that you kids can understand, much more so than molecular things.
I completely agree.
My point is some people are acting as though if it's omitted or changed in a MO HS setting, then the scientific world will crumble into another dark age. If these kids go to college, they will understand that they will have to know the theory of evolution. Whether or not they choose to believe it is a different story.
Again, FWIW, I think omitting it from the curriculum is dumb and I disagree with it.
And you're right about the molecular level. Something as simple as a mutated strain of the flu is an easily identifiable and indisputable result of evolution.
