you dont need to understand the specifics of evolution to settle this case. that is not what the debate is about. what should be taught is essentially decided by experiments, not people. Since the experiemental value is philosophically insured, then, someone knowledgable in the philosophy of science and the scientific method is more than adequately qualified to decide, based on a review of methodology, what is and isnt appropriate for the science class. like i said, beyond that, the predictions and experiments really make all the choices!
