Similar stuff, I would say, happens with lots of sciences - perhaps all of them. Science is still in evolution, there is not yet a definite answer to many of the questions mankind has. (The same, I should add, happens with religious thought - it is easy to see that not all religious leaders, or even most of them, agree on fundamental points.) For example, and returing to the scientific part, it is generally known that the Universe started about 14 billion years ago with a "Big Bang", and that the Universe is currently expanding. But there is still a lot of debate about what happend before that, where the Universe is heading, or even how big it is.

It is obvious that science has to be taught in schools. It is equally obvious that studenst should be forewarned that what they are being taught isn't necessarily the final truth, since many issues are still being investigated.

>The problem with the 'Theory of Evolution' as it is taught in American Secular Schools is that it is not viewed as a theory, it is presented as a fact. If you get into a discussion with a high school biology teacher and begin to present problems with the theory, the answer that you will probably get back is that modern biology is based on this theory and therefore it cannot be questioned. If you take the time to do any reading on Evolution you will know that there are tremendous arguments inside the scientific community about all aspects of the theory. None of this reaches the level of elementary and secondary education, and very likely little reaches the common college student. Therefore, there needs to be a warning that what is presented in these books is just a 'theory' and to a great extent does not agree with the current scientific accessment of the theory.
