Editorial: Focus on science

The Tampa Tribune is the latest newspaper to offer strong support for evolution in the state’s science standards on the editorial page.

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is central to science curriculum because it explains more observations than any alternative. It has been debated for nearly two centuries. It has been tested and substantiated, and modified and refined, by generations of scientists. This is how science works.

The newspaper web page allows reader comments, and the creationists are out in full force there. Please take a moment to stop by and correct their misinformation campaign.
