92. You can’t teach basic biology without evolution

Eukaryotic versus prokaryotic development can’t be taught without evolutionary theory coming into the discussion.

Evolution and the belief in developement of the species didn’t start with Darwin and it is the basis for all modern biological sciences.

I wouldn’t want a surgeon operating on me that didn’t know basic cellular biology. He wouldn’t have a clue.

ID is junk, it’s trash, it isn’t even religion, it’s utter nonsense.

On this theory, natural variation in the genetic material of a population favors reproduction by some individuals more than others, so that over the generations all members of the population come to possess the favorable traits.
2. biology developmental process: the natural or artificially induced process by which new and different organisms develop as a result of changes in genetic material "
