Creation Moment 6/21/2020 - 60% Increase

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27

"The new report titled “Teaching evolution in U.S. public schools: a continuing challenge” was released last week by Evolution: Education and Outreach, a peer-reviewed journal that promotes comprehensive teaching of evolutionary theory.

The study indicates that the average number of class hours devoted to the teaching of human evolution in U.S. public schools rose by 60% from 2007 to 2019.
We find a 60% increase in the mean number of class hours reported as devoted to human evolution, from 4.1 to 7.7 class hours,”  write the authors of the report.
In 2007, 51% of high school biology teachers emphasized that the theory of evolution has a "broad consensus" that it “is a fact, even as scientists disagree about the specific mechanisms.” The same percentage in 2007 also gave “no credence to creationism as science.”
But 12 years later, the number of teachers teaching that evolution has a broad consensus to be “fact” and not giving credence to Creationism has risen to 67%.
Asked to agree or disagree that it is “possible to offer an excellent general biology course for high school students that includes no mention of Darwin or evolutionary theory,” between 82% to 83% of the teachers surveyed rejected the idea in both 2007 and 2019."
