To: What is the bottom line
IF we're going to give students all the 'facts' for making a decision, then I suppose that means we should give them all of the creation myths found in the world. But isn't that why we have separate books for biology and mythology?

You realize that one of the definitions for a "myth" is a story that is unverifiable, correct? Explain to me how one can reproduce evolution, empirically, such that it is fact, again?

We can't kill Nicole Simpson all over again. But we can look at the clues and figure out that OJ did it. That's how it is with any historical science. Life on Earth developed over time, and all species are related. Those are facts.
