Exactly. Evolution and faith are wholly compatible. Efforts such as this make Christians look silly.
This is scandalous. It is absolute essential that we teach water and methane—presto—becoming complex amino acids and the species evolution despite lack of support from the fossil record!
The theory of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation is NOT taught as a theory? Gee, seems to me that “theory” is the first word used to describe it. As far as “proof”; no theory is Science is ever “proven” but provisionally accepted pending contradictory data or a refinement of the theory that better explains data and predicts phenomena.
Absolutely absurd.
I am totally OK with creationism being taught. Just not in science class.
Imagine what public school teachers, who might be appropriately accused of distorting evolution, would do to creationism. And as often as not, not in the favor of creationism.
The seem to have shot themselves in the foot before stepping outside.

Well, as long as you put it that way, perhaps we might expect you to be able to offer a scientific account of exactly how accidental concatenations of organic molecules cause wisdom and folly.
Cordially,
QUICK NOTE TO ALL BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIANS:
There are thousands of Freepers. These threads bring out a dozen or two Freepers who’ve concluded that God is irrelevant, that He did not in fact create “all this.” They are not open to dialog, not open to considering the evidence against their theories, not open to the possibility that the Creator in fact exists.
My advice for non-atheists: Ignore these kinds of threads. I’ve found them to be a waste of time. I’ve wasted hours trying to dialog with anti-Christian, anti-Scripture, anti-evidence Freepers. Soliton may be a fine Republican, but, like his pro-Darwin pals, is blind to the evidence in favor of a Creator. Don’t waste your breath with this gang of 20.
