Evolution occured, as demonstrated by massive amounts of evidence, irregardless of how the first life arose.
You can believe that God placed the first life here, whatever you want. But after that, the evidence says that evolution is how the species, including man, came to be.
Many religious people think that evolution was God tool. I'd suggest you think along those lines, because the evidence we find in Gods creation tells us that.
Would this then allow the teach of creationism in our schools?
