User talk:Darwin1809

Celebrating Darwin's 200th birthday. As a Darwin impersonator, I have encountered an almost complete ignorance about his work and life. Teachers havd told me that they are much too intimidated to even mention him or anything about evolution which means that we now have several generations coming of age who do not understand their own biology and evolution. At the Carnegie Science Center of Pittsburgh when I asked a number of teachers and students - engineers-what they knew about him they admitted not much. With school age children there was total ignorance. They had no idea how science worked and that a "theory" was not a guess but required an immense about of evidence to be accepted, which means that evolution is no longer what they think of as a theory but established fact.
