  1. Science education should focus on teaching things as the scientific method, communications in science, what theories and supporting evidence are and so on.  The biggest problem with science is that people don't know what it is.  This lady said evolution was proved.  Nothing in science is proven.  To prove something means without a doubt.  Science isn't a religion so there is always doubt.  "I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything, and in many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here, and what the question might mean. I might think about a little, but if I can't figure it out, then I go to something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn't frighten me." —The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman Science is about innovations and advancement.  It is about searching for explanations and new findings.  People seem to lack this.  It always annoyed me when Richard Dawkins seemed to replace religion with science.  To me he isn't a scientist which is why he has never done anything in the past 30 years except promote atheism.  Science is theories to give predictions of the physical world and the theory with the strongest supporting evidence we use.  It isn't facts or proofs.  I am no so much disturbed by the fact that this law is being proposed, I am more disturbed that people don't understand science.  Those students should learn evolution but should learn it as a theory.  They don't have to believe it.  I don't believe it, but it is a theory I strongly support and reference a lot.
