The argument that creationists believe the earth is flat is getting stale. Evolution can't be proved yet people like you want it taught as fact to the exclusion of every other perspective. I think all the problems with evolution should be taught. But in reality, most high school science curriculum doesn't delve deeply into evolution anyway. College is where the real evo push is.

I didn't say creationists believe the Earth is flat. In fact I didn't even mention creationists.

What I did was point out the question the IDists won't answer: how should we decide which ideas get taught in science classes?

Evolution can't be proved yet people like you want it taught as fact to the exclusion of every other perspective

No theory in science can be proved. The theory of relativity cannot be proved. Plate theory cannot be proved. Quantum theory cannot be proved. Anyway, even when something cannot be fully explained, you don't teach non-scientific ideas instead. If science couldn't explain the workings of tornados you don't go and teach a theory that tornados are operated by an unknown intelligence. Sure it might be true, but it isn't science.

I think all the problems with evolution should be taught.

I agree.
