Even though I am a church-going Christian, I do not believe in creationism or intelligent design. But the thing is, the nuts on the far-left want evolution passed off as a fact when the scientific community still has it as a theory. Both sides and the science for and against evolution should be taught.

Ahem: "fact" and "theory" are not mutually exclusive. In this case, evolutionary theory describes a general process. Evolution is a fact in that we can see conclusively that it has happened and that it continues.

You should acquaint yourself with the definition of the word theory. It doesn't mean hypothesus. Remember, Newtons Laws of motion were corrected by Einsteins Theory of Relativity
