There is absolutely NO PROOF for Evolution, so what is that doing in the schools?

No proof?

Hmmm......

Seems that Darwin postulated genetic diversity within a population. DNA testing shows that there is indeed such a thing.

Darwin postulated that some individuals that exhibited a beneficial trait (being heterozygous for sickle cell anemia infers malaria resistance)would be more likely to pass on their genetics to successive generations. DNA testing of populations where malaria is endemic show this to be true.

That is mostly all there is to evolution through natural selection. The rest is mostly details about speciation, hybridization,genetic drift, founder effect, Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium. You know, really boring stuff. But there are some good "proof"'s for that as well.

Right, everybody knows that (except CS types). Scientific theories cannot be proved, but they can be disproved (falsified).

But in 150 years evolution has not been disproved. There is actually a huge amount of data now that Darwin didn't have available back then, and it supports the theory of evolution. Geology, paleontology, genetics, biology, archaeology, and most of the other sciences have all made great advances in the past 150 years. Some of these sciences didn't even exist as we know them 150 years ago.

Evolution is in the schools because it is science.

The best proof of evolution are the creationists, for they have not evolved.
