    ISTANBUL (AP) — Students in Turkey are returning to school where they will be taught evolution for the last time in their biology classes. Next fall, evolution and Charles Darwin will be scrapped from their textbooks.

    Turkey has announced an overhaul of more than 170 topics in the country's school curriculum, including removing all direct references to evolution from biology classes.

    Education Minister Ismet Yilmaz said the new "value-based" curriculum would teach evolutionary mechanisms such as natural selection but evolution itself was too advanced for high school and would not be taught until college.

    The upcoming changes have caused an uproar, with critics calling them a reshaping of education along the conservative, Islam-oriented government's line. Some biologists say the move will leave Turkish students unable to understand even basic science.

    Islam is a bad idea that stands out as bad, even among religions.

    This is the same bou s who refers to black people as "knitters" (and we all know the word he's really using). He's just a racist.

    Pretty common for all the fundamentalists with zealous reading concerning origins taken from old texts. The Catholics broke away in the 50s from this dogma. Some Protestants are ok with it. But they interject a soul.

    The underlined makes no sense, go figure. Evolution is not even argued by any but the deranged. The mechanisms and timing are still being refined and are the most difficult part. So... Turkey does not get it either. Poor argument. They should have just put people in a special place and let it be taught concerning all other living things. It's safer.

    Nothing's funnier than the truth. And, again, not Mexican.

    No, he's a racist like most Leftists. He's also a surface thinker, like most Leftists. Hence he thinks I'm Mexican because of my screen name.

    It's funny how Islamists took the idea of creationism from Christian fundamentalists despite Muslim scholars not refuting evolution for centuries.

    Muslims haven't evolved beyond monkeys for the theory to be applicable.

    He's still way off. By that logic, he could make the case for roaches being more educated and richer (which he essentially is doing).
