That the Evolutionists will continue to sell discredited theories (the primordial soup) and outright frauds (the peppered-moth photos, Haekel's long-ago debunked drawings, Piltdown Man, etc.) to our children in schools paid for with our tax dollars rather than simply teach them the truth: That evolution has no viable theory of abiogenesis and that many of the supposed proofs for evolution that they've been taught all their lives don't actually exist.

Couple problems there.

Piltdown Man is not being taught in classrooms. Neither is Haekel. The peppered-moth photos were an experiment in predation, and only creationists claim that it was somehow a faked experiement. It also is not being taught in schools.

My question was: What is being taught in the classrooms that is not honest? And in which classrooms?

I'd like some specifics to back up your charge of dishonesty, please.

Just to keep it clear, your original charge was:
If the evolutionist side of this debate were completely honest in the classrooms about what they do and do not know and about what they can and cannot prove, teaching ID as a counter-point wouldn't be an issue.

That's what I would like some specifics on. What is being taught in the classrooms that is not honest, and in which classrooms?

Specific examples, please.
