Highball, Sorry to not get back to you right away, I was too busy being ignorant of many other things and screwing up society for the rest of my community by coming up with new lies.
I've not had the benefit of a raging flamer like you here. It’s not too often that I can be taken so wildly out of context. Now, either you are lying to make your point here or you just don’t want to get that I don't want this Theory taught as though it were the only fact on the issue of how we came to be. It’s pretty simple really. It IS a theory, one POSSIBLE theory, it DOES have a lot of evidence to suggest, and evidence of fact, but it stands as a theory which is unproven in total. And my ONLY problem with the teaching of it is how some go about doing so. If you can't understand this than I can’t help you and I could care less your mindless labels.
"I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and say ignorant, but willful and continued ignorance isn't much better."
Oh...I am glad that you are soooo benevolent to me to "Give" me the benefit of your personal doubt and share it with others.

Yeah, right. "Mindless labels." That pesky, inconvenient scientific method....
You keep using the words "theory" and "proof" as though the first requires the second for any validity. It doesn't. There is plenty of evidence to support it, that's why it's called a "theory."
The Theory of Evolution is the only scientific theory that fits the facts. After a couple hundred years of opposition to evolution, its opponents have come up with... absolutely zero. Diddly squat. El zippo.
That's why it may be taught with conviction. There's no need to try and make it seem as though it was somehow shaky - it's as solid as any scientific theory can be.
I never said that I had a problem problem with alternate theories being taught side by side with evolution. I support that wholeheartedly. As soon as one is posited, let us know.
In the meantime, evolution should and will continue to be taught as the only theory that even remotely fits the evidence.
