What are the questions that should be asked of the ToE in a classroom?

Beats me, but there are alot of people out there, scientists included that have a real problem with the alleged science of it.

But instead of asking critical questions of it in a classroom, the classes are taught as if it's the gospel.

It's not the gospel and never will be so long as questions remain unanswered.

We are not talking gospel here, we're talking science. The vast majority of scientists who have a problem with evolution are, coincidentally, very religious.

The vast majority of biological and other evolutionary scientists might argue amongst themselves over the fine points, but the battle over whether evolution is a proper scientific theory was settled well over a century ago.

The problem I see is that some folks don't want the science; they prefer the gospel and have taken their fight to the science classes.

"We are not talking gospel here, we're talking science. The vast majority of scientists who have a problem with evolution are, coincidentally, very religious."

So? The simple fact that they are very religious somehow makes them dumber than an agnostic, buddhist or Atheist Scientist?

"The vast majority of biological and other evolutionary scientists might argue amongst themselves over the fine points, but the battle over whether evolution is a proper scientific theory was settled well over a century ago."

If this were the case then what are you afraid of in having it openly discussed, both pro and con in a school?

"The problem I see is that some folks don't want the science; they prefer the gospel and have taken their fight to the science classes."

Ain't it great that we live in America where we can do this sort of thing.
