As a matter of fact evolution is rather hard to teach to non-scientists.
I (long ago and in a galaxy far far away) taught biology to non-science majors.
Never even got near evolution. Tried to do a bit of classification, objectivity, reproducible results, effects have causes....plus some data bits.
Extremely tough. Different mindset. A few would break through. Many found understanding actually objectionable... made them "cold," diminished the importance of feelings,
and, from my observations, made some afraid that established dominance heirarchies among themselves would crumble.
Biology is hard, it's incredibly complex. And of course when you dig deeper into biology you get into bio-chemistry, and then things get really ugly (reproducible results? well most of the time, but don't be suprised when it doesn't).
I've actually never been convinced low level science classes (like generalized jr high science, or even barely specific high school bio and chemistry) are actually a good idea. By necessity they present such a grossly over simplified view of things they set people up to misunderstand almost everything. These things are just so complicated, and in order to teach them in 32 weeks of 1 hour classes teachers basically have to lie. There's a reason college science takes such small slices of things. You see it in these threads, most of the creationists are saying stuff they learned in high school, and the stuff they learned in high school is crap, and it's not really their fault, their life took them down a path where they didn't need to learn more and they never found out their high school science teacher fed them a line of bull to avoid occular bleeding.
