Should teachers be forced to read out the "Gaps" in Darwins theory?
No, teachers should not be forced to read out the few "Gaps" in Darwins theory. The Dover School Board made it mandatory in every science classroom of that the teachers would read out a one minute script discussing and explaining the "Gaps" in Darwins scientific theory of evolution. This is wrong because every scientific theory has "Gaps", for example gravity is just a theory it may not be because of the metals in the earth's core rotating around each other, but that the earth is falling upwards at 9.8 m/s causing gravity. The teachers should not have to read or teach about the other weird things in science because the exclusion of intelligent design theory at the top of their priorities means that they do not care about the science in their argument but they just want their religion to be secretly taught and supported in school. Theory,Phenomenons that occur naturally in the universe and one that have been tested. Then the board force the teachers to go over every theory and its "Gaps"? The school board doesn't make the teachers go over all of those theories because those theories do not clash with their religion. So the Dover School science teachers should not have to read the "Gaps" in Darwin's theory of evolution or any other theory because a theory is accepted as a theory not a fact.
