Reply #49: I'm saying that certain parts of biology could be taught without Evolution [View All]

I'm not advocating that, just stating my opinion.

However, it stands to reason that the study of biology existed long before Darwin came along and people where able to learn much about how systems work without necessarily understanding how systems evolved.

Actually, I would say a good portion of the high school biology that I was taught was taught to me without emphesis on the evolutionary aspects of it.

You can be taught how a heart or a cell works without understanding how it evolved. That would be considered teaching biology I think.

However, ultimately when you look at biology as a whole concepts naturally lead you to consider how things got that way which is where evolution comes in.
