Would you mind stating the theory of evolution and pointing out where this "unique moral obligation to acknowledge [the] creator" appears?

I don't recall ever noticing it.

Then why do you care whether or not evolution is taught in classrooms? Because evolution is "true?" Why do you care whether truth or falsehood is taught in schools? Why do you care about anything at all?

In the absence of G-d truth is not superior to falsehood. In fact, since "morality" consists entirely of arbitrary Divine decree, there is no need to campaign for or against anything whatsoever. There are no "problems" to "solve" because we're lucky to be here at all. And there are no "evils" to rectify because in the absence of G-d objective evil cannot exist (it is actually G-d Who makes objective evil possible, which makes the whole "problem of evil" argument against G-d nonsense).

Log off and go sit in a field now. Eat something. Make some money. You know--eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you die. But why waste your precious limited time in the only life you'll ever have arguing with other people about it?

If I believed there was no G-d I certainly wouldn't be on an Internet forum trying to convince everyone else of the truth of my position, and I don't understand why any atheist does this.

Because it's good science and students should know good science.

"Why do you care whether truth or falsehood is taught in schools? Why do you care about anything at all?"

Because I do. I value truth, and I value life.

"If I believed there was no G-d I certainly wouldn't be on an Internet forum trying to convince everyone else of the truth of my position, and I don't understand why any atheist does this."

Evolution isn't atheistic. Nobody is trying to convince anybody here that there is no God. You're delusional. :)

You have made so many wrong assumptions in a single post it would take several fruitless weeks to delineate and correct them all.

I only wanted to know where the theory of evolution you found a "unique moral obligation to acknowledge [the] creator." You are more intent on grandstanding than actual debate.

Since you are unable to state the theory of evolution, much less explain where it says ANYTHING about a creator, I think it's reasonable to conclude that this whole thing is your own invention, that you have little knowledge of evolution, zero interest in learning anything beyond your own myopic prejudices, and henceforth, you can safely be ignored.
