Driving "nonsense" out of the classroom, huh?
Until evolutionists can demonstrate how a strand of DNA can self-assemble, survive in a hostile chemical environment, and purposelessly begin to reproduce and form the form the first living cell, I'd say the theory is baloney.
People need to learn to think for themselves and reject the "received knowledge" from evolutionists with their own stubborn belief system.

Until IDers can demonstrate the existence of a Designer (and address who designed the Designer), I'd say that the idea of ID (because it's not a theory) is baloney.
Until Creationists can demonstrate the creation of a young-Earth and prove the Earth is <10,000 years old (i.e. Biblical Creationism), I'd say that Creationism as scientific theory is baloney.
Who said anything about DNA self assembling? The original pre-life would be much simpler than DNA. As far as 'purposelessly reproduce', that is simply what RNA and DNA does. There are a number of other complex molecules that spontaneously replicate such as amino adenosine triacid ester (AATE).

On the other hand, why would God choose so complex a mechanism as DNA to spark life?
There is no inconsistency in believing in both God and some form of evolution. He gave us the brains to figure out how He did it.
Yes.

You'd say that, but that's because you're grossly ignorant. Clue for the clueless: The theory of evolution deals with the processes which cause living things to change as they reproduce. It has nothing whatsoever to do with how life may have originally formed, since however that may have happened, it was (obviously) a pre-evolutionary process.
Your whine is as pointless as saying that meteorology (the study of weather) is "baloney" until it is determined where the atmosphere came from. To any thinking person, it's obvious that the validity of meteorology doesn't depend in the least on how or when the atmosphere may have originated, since it only concerns itself with how the atmosphere behaves now that it's here.
And likewise for evolutionary biology with regards to the origins of life.
Nonetheless, if you're trying to claim that biologists have not made serious progress into understanding how DNA originated, you're very mistaken.
People need to learn to think for themselves and reject the "received knowledge" from evolutionists with their own stubborn belief system.
Actually, people need to learn something about a subject before they say stupid things about it out of ignorance. Evolutionary biology is not "received knowledge", it's based on over a century of research and vast mountains of independently cross-confirming lines of evidence, and consists of conclusions which have been validated and revalidated countless times, and have survived huge numbers of potential falsification attempts.
Why?
You really have no clue as to the actual contents of the Theory of Evolution, do you?
I agree with you, most people believe evolution is a fact because they have been taught that it is. Every person has a responsibility to investigate for themselves and come with their own answer and personally I don't see a problem with simply stating that evolution is a theory and not a fact before discussing it is science class, what is the fear? Also I am a creationist and there is a distinct difference whether evolutionist believe it or not.
