Your note is what I envision for the class - to rationally point out the strengths and weaknesses of the "Theories" (I'm stretching here to be kind to the non/semi-scientific theories). Trying to educate both sides of this discussion -
From that we see -
1.) What is settled.
2.) What is controversial
3.) etc.
Evolution will do fine in a head to head comparison. What I do wonder about though is the willingness of many to extend the reach of evolution into areas where it is not settled science, and for which there is little evidence.
It seems to me a bit that the anti-religionists like to use evolution for political purposes, and oversell it.
I mean - just for fun - let's say evolution is the perfect mechanism for developing plants and animals (which it appears to me to be). OK - well who designed a system that could be run by this perfect simple rule. If evolution is perfect, from what did it evolve to become perfect? Just kidding - Etc.
A faithful person could certainly believe that God designed evolution, and it has operated continually for 3+ billion years. It is quite an invention. Evolution (life) acquires it's own energy. It is self correcting, even self improving. And so far, immortal (not individuals, but the chain of life has so far been immortal). Just imagine a human designed system running so well, for so long.
Religious people COULD look at evolution and see the greatest of Gods creations. But instead, they deny it, and contradict what we find in the evidence. If they can be so wrong on such a huge thing, the I figure they can be wrong on the existence of God himself.
Contrary to what some have posted here, it was humans (those beings called liars in an earlier post) that transcribed, translated, and yes, wrote the Bible. There is no evidence whatever that any supernatural being was involved in anything written in the Bible. Merely another book written by humans.
