One could hold to empirical as opposed to philosophical science (such as evolution). Even the experts can not agree, so why should the public be forced to have a concern about such matters? People don’t apply theoretical physics to every day life so why theoretical biology should be so widely sensationalised? E.g. from Time magazine “Once again they are ignorant of evolution” … was run about a school that taught biology but omitted the scientifically flawed evolutionary history from the syllabus. From a biological perspective this is wonderful, as the students do not bare the burden of evolution theory when they empirically analyse data. Teleology and the human element are omitted, which is what science is about. The thing that both theoretical physics and theoretical biology have in common is that they change every 10 years or so – while metaphysics remains constant, from culture to culture in myth.
