Study: Majority of muslim students training to be teachers in Germany deny evolution

[Noradin]

To an average German, the very idea that science can be trumped by religion is absolutely foreign. So, no. It's not a problem in Christianity.

Probably, but what about the people who are in training to become teachers for the subject religion?
Those are picked by the religious groups in question, not by the state.

The reason teachers in training in Turkey were asked, was that they get trained in Turkey to teach the subject Islam in Germany.
Unsurprisingly those are the ones who mostly believe evolution does not apply to humans.

Oh boy, here we go again. Right so let's quote the National Academy of Sciences on what "scientific theories" are:

Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.

From https://www.nap.edu/read/6024/chapter/2#2

Now, as we can see, theories can contain facts and tested hypothesis within them making them well-substantiated.

To go further, the next paragraph:

The contention that evolution should be taught as a "theory, not as a fact" confuses the common use of these words with the scientific use. In science, theories do not turn into facts through the accumulation of evidence. Rather, theories are the end points of science. They are understandings that develop from extensive observation, experimentation, and creative reflection. They incorporate a large body of scientific facts, laws, tested hypotheses, and logical inferences. In this sense, evolution is one of the strongest and most useful scientific theories we have.

Theories are not "below" facts in some form of scientific ranking order, they even incorporate facts. There is so much evidence of evolution's occurence that it is one of the strongest theories around, not to mention without it our medical understanding would be leaps and bounds behind where it is right now.
The hypotheses regarding evolution are tested and found accurate.

"Theory" in the common tongue would be a "hypothesis" in scientific terms:

Hypothesis: A tentative statement about the natural world leading to deductions that can be tested. If the deductions are verified, it becomes more probable that the hypothesis is correct.

And how does it affect society negatively? Seriously, why are we having this debate?

Who is defending Muslims?

I am saying that evolution being taught as fact is incorrect.

What's funny about this is that Evolution IS a scientific fact. That evolution occurs is beyond debate.
