Stop teaching your religion, evo disguised as science, with it's implication that there is no God

The question of God is irrelevant to evolution, unless you can formulate some test for the presence of God, or propose an observation unique to the presence of God.

Evolution proposes that three simple concepts-- heredity, variation and reproductive success-- may have given rise to the wide variety of life on this planet. The details of each mechanism can be studied, quantified, described, and investigated. There are no anomalies that threaten these three basic precepts, and no evidence for any other mechanisms.

Nothing in there precludes the idea, as you insist, that God set these mechanisms in motion. But so far we have no evidence of god(s) one way or another. If you wish to assign a Divine interpretation, feel free. Recognize however that this is only and exactly your own interpretation, and absent concrete evidence, you may not use public funds to promote this interpretation.

We have lots of evidence of God's existence, just no proof able to be measured or duplicated in the laboratory. That doesn't mean God can't be proved. It just means science isn't the way to do it.

I don't think ID proves God. It does refute undirected evolution.
