Evolution is always stated as a "THEORY".

Which it is.

You may be getting evolution (mutation + natural selection)

confused with faunal succession (fossils are restricted to certain strata, eg there are no rocks with both mammals and trilobites)

Fauna succession is a fact, which the theory of Darwinian evolution explains. It was known decades before Darwin.

See post 134 and post 187

ID is armchair speculation or hypothesis, and should be taught as such.

My confusion or dispute is not about mutation + natural selection.

Quite frankly what I reject is the fact that under the demand of "evolution" young minds are not taught the difference between "fauna succession" and themselves coming from pond scum.

What has been done in the name of "SCIENCE" is to distort "human beings" to the same status as "fauna succession".

To fill the void of one and the same "self-esteem" classes are necessary.

Science in our children's classrooms today is a mixture of "fauna succession" blended in with what the "evil" human has done to the environment. A 10th grade biology teacher, who is actually the golf coach, bragged at open house, about how many acres of the "Rain Forest" he had saved over the years.

The subject of science has become so PC'd that it is little more than a religion of mutation and natural selection, and all parts of earth are one and the same.

The teaching community in their mutation are just as responsible for the state of "MIND" of children when they blend theories with provable facts. The one thing that is never allowed in any part of teaching science is a "CREATOR". One can show mutation and natural selection, and the "creation" and a Creator are not mutually exclusive and that is what our children are taught as SCIENCE.

A few years back an 8th grade science teacher, who is the girls softball coach, gave an assignment to his class to "create" a creature, name it, and design a habitat for their creation. Talk about a waste of time and brain cells teaching my child to be a "god".
