When any critic of evolution demands empirical evidence, neo-Darwinists just assume the creative power of natural selection and employ it to explain whatever change or lack of change has been observed, or they avoid the test by responding that scientists are discovering alternative mechanisms which relegate selection to a less important role (which fundamentally changes Darwins original theory BTW). The "fact" of evolution therefore remains unquestioned, even if there is a certain amount of healthy debate about the theory.
...the purpose of neo-Darwinism is to persuade the public to believe that there is no purposeful intelligence that transcends the natural world
Interesting post. But I don't see the above being relevant to high-school curricula.
