"And a final reason teachers skipped (and still skip) that last 
chapter and do not put everything in an evolutionary context is that
they 
themselves are uncertain about the principles of evolution (as I like to

say, it's not rocket science -- it's harder!!;"

It is?


"evolution is a difficult 
concept to understand at a level that allows one to teach it
effectively),"

Really?

"having had a deficient scientific education, which they blithely pass
on. 
It is certainly possible to love nature and deny evolution."

And it's also possible to love nature and accept evolution.
