quote. They see nothing wrong with teaching THEORY as FACT. /quote

Exactly, they are requiring that the theory be taken as fact, and that can only be done through "faith" in the theory. If "faith" is the foundation for sustaining the theory, then it is a religion in itself, the religion of evolutionism. Why is this new religion more acceptable in academia than any other religion?

Well you've proved one thing. When enough people tell a falshood enough times it becomes "true".

Please educate yourself. You and a few million like you are making conservatives look like uneducated hicks.

Your missing something here. There is a "fact" of evolution -- that organisms change over generations. There is also a "theory" of evolution that explains those changes.

Another comfortable straw man. What, do you guys sleep with these straw men? You come up with them so gall darn quickly.

The theory of evolution is considered a theory not fact. The fact of evolution is the observation of the variance in allele frequency within a population. The theory is a theory and the fact is a fact. Simple isn't it?
