But of course, that's not the standard response.

Assuming, arguendo, that is the case, then we're talking about a problem with the public schools (and you won't find a bigger critic of publc schools than me), rather than a problem with the theory of evolution.

Actually, I think we'd be talking about a problem with the theory of evolution itself, since the basic assumption -- which both teachers and Richard Dawkins teach -- is that bunches of molecules somehow randomly assembled themselves into living organisms.

The problem here is not that molecules became assembled, it's the assumption that they did so randomly.
