I can understand teaching math, science, English etc. But why teach evolution? It is only a theory after all. It has NEVER been proven. In that case why not teach creationism too? Just present it as a theory. If people argue that it isn’t true then use that against their argument to teach evolution; it isn’t true either. And if they say evolution is true tell them to prove it!
If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Evolution must be taught inclusive of its ‘flaws’. Cover all bases. We did not evolve FROM ‘apes’.
"Only a theory"? In science, a theory is a description of apparent relationships or underlying principles of observed phenomena that has been verified to some degree--such as the atomic theory or the theory of relativity.
On the other hand, Adam and Eve is only a story.
If Americans came from Europeans - why are there still Europeans?
If dogs came from wolves - why are there still wolves?
evolution is not a theory. it is akin to saying the theor of gravity. This is just a slow motion skopes trial. Farmers have been using natural seclection for millendia. even humans use it when searching for a mate. nobody wants short fat and ugly.
That's actually a good question. See here...
In none of the great advances in scientific knowledge does the theory of evolution play a part:
Consider the discovery of antibiotics, circulation of the blood, atomic theory, the existence of radioactivity, the nature and speed of light, movement of the planets, heredity, plate tectonics, behavior of gases.....I could go on but the point is clear, the theory of evolution is irrelevant to scientific advancement.
But it does provide the impetus for NASA to spend endless billions trying to discover life on other planets to prove it true.
