But we can turn that around, too. You can also make the argument that the whole thing just sort of randomly happened, in some way. But that, too, is a "theological" premise, and not a scientific one. Why would we want to introduce that debate into schools?

Teaching evolution doesn't do that, unless the teacher has a serious agenda they're trying to push. Simply describing the theory doesn't lead to a suggestion that there is no God. The proper response for a teacher, if asked what started the whole thing is to say "We don't know."
