Evolution has never been proven only speculated, yet it has become an obsession by the secular world to limit our understanding of mans origin based solely on this "Idea", to the exclusiveness of all others that are just as much based in science as evolution. The courts have even limited their decisions to include only two theories....Evolution or creation, when in reality, there can not be evolution without first something was created, because nothing can create itself. A paradox of liberal logic? Sense intelligent design explains much more that evolution ever can in the basic cognation to reason. Ralph
Darwinian evolution is science, therefore belongs in the science room. To say that evolution is in conflict with your religious beliefs and you consider religion to take precedent is one thing, but to say evolution is not in conflict with a creationist view is another. The former would suggest that you're just going to have to either live up to the fact that creationism as perceived is false or in an inane attempt of irrational denial claim that science is false. However, if you're indeed going to accept the latter (evolution is not in conflict with creationism) then you're going to have to accept the fact that they're not 'competing theories', and therefore there is no imperative to somehow attempt to trump the other. The simple matter of fact, in either scenario, evolution is science and creationism is religion, and religion does not belong in the science classroom. If you're so irresponsible as to teach your children that when they come into conflict, that religion always takes precedent over science and empiricism, then you do so in the privacy of your own time, and in those institutions relevant to religion, not science.
