[...Students would then have a poor understanding of what science is...]
Don't start yelling until you finish reading. I don't think evolution is good science. No, I'm not a scientist, but that doesn't mean I can't put two and two together.
In grade school, I went to a museum and saw an exhibit with a tooth or jawbone and then there was this long line of human/ape looking creatures up to "modern man". Except for the tooth, on each one it said "Artists Concept".
Even as a grade schooler, I could see there was a huge gap in evidence filled in with wishful thinking and artistic imagination.
I don't have to PROVE God. He proves Himself. Evolution is another story.
