According to the theory of evolution, how scientifically inaccurate is this Christian sweatshirt?

[BCP1928]

You threw me off for second there with "Catholics" and "teaching (philosophy of) science" as none of it met my initial filter. The only thing they tried to teach me was theology and dogma. I forgot they actually ran schools. (They weren't any better in our area and offered only a limited education as the nearest HS was probably an hour's drive away. The nearest had a middle school science teacher who was trained as a HS math teacher. I used to grade their HW.)

They run colleges, too, which is where I was first exposed to the philosophy of science. The texts were The Aim and Structure of Physical Theory by Pierre Duhem and Physics and Philosophy by Werner Heisenberg. I suggested both these works to our colleagues Mr. Void but he showed no interest. Not "Protestant" enough for his tastes, I suppose.

I was also a little distracted because I was trying to find the post where you posted the creadal formula from your church. It seemed a bit odd to me, but then I find any version than the traditional Vatican II formula to be odd.

It's from the 1928 version of the Book of Common Prayer, of course, the only real true and divinely inspired version. Accept no Substitutes! (see, I got my idea for a screen name from our friend AV1611)

You old timers make too many easy assumptions............................... my late dad used to do the same thing.

I visited one for a day. I found it ... odd, bordering on disturbing. It seemed like a regular college, but religion kept popping up in public places where it felt out of place.

Academic ancestor or not, I'm just not interested in these books or such things.

Anything that can be too much or not enough Protestant or Catholic is a category screaming out to me to stay away.

I thought it was a substitute church. I went to an Episcopalian wedding once, and it was both familiar and "wrong".

I hope this isn't the first time you mentioned this. His ego could go critical...

Goodness, I have often wondered about both of your screen names, and now it's obvious.

Most teachers of K-12 education have degrees in education, not whatever subject matter they happen to be teaching. Apparently there's some theory of how to best to stuff knowledge into the heads of kids of different age groups. This knowledge also requires more classroom time than learning whatever knowledge you are to stuff. Sorry, I went to a university with a robust teacher churning out program.

There are some "English Single-Subject Teaching" degrees that balance actual knowledge of English with teaching credentials, so I presume that similar infrastructure exists for science, and if not, there should be. Still, that doesn't really work for science because there are a multiplicity of scientific disciplines, so you would have "Chemistry Single-Subject Teaching", "Physics Single-Subject Teaching" and "Biology Single-Subject Teaching" degrees. And then these people would only have Bachelor's Degree levels of science knowledge, as opposed to real scientists who have Masters' and Doctorates in their chosen discipline.

Since the inquiry was about scientists and education I will limit my comments to HS. To get a license to teach HS math, my mom had to *major* in mathematics along with her education school base program and student teaching. When I was 1 or 2 years from graduating, I took a "Jr. Level" lab course. My lab partner was in the teacher training, majoring in physics to become a HS physics teacher. A year (or two) later, she was teaching HS physics and I was teaching the same lab class as a TA (with 3 days of training).

To teach HS chemistry (for example) you don't need a MS in chemistry, a BS will give you plenty of knowledge of chemistry beyond what is in HS chemistry.
