But why teach evolution? It is only a theory after all.

"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.

As much as you’d like to group evolution with those other theories it is NOT even remotely in the same realm. No one can prove evolution between different kinds b/c it is not a hard science ~ it is simply one historical interpretation that may or may not be true. Science can NEVER re-create millions nor billions of years of natural history.

Furthermore, if one honestly reviews, re-examines, re-evaluates and separates the facts from the just-so story-telling it appears that devolution is the more likely process where all lifeforms are on their way to extinction. After all only 99.9% of all lifeforms that ever lived are currently extinct.

That's funny coming from someone who believes in evolution.

The ToE is based only on forensic evidence and extrapolation of variation within species. It's not science by any stretch of the imagination. It's philosophy.

The relationships in science/engineering and mathematics has allowed mankind to develop modernize and even define the world/universe we live in. I see no such events from the theory of evolution although it is interesting that humans and other creatures separately do change over time..
