I think yours is an arrogant judgment that cheats kids out of the same exploring process you went through to arrive at your decision. Far more interesting would be to let kids be exposed to the debate, instead of just limiting them to one side. THIS debate is part of the environment kids need to be exposed to to assess any of the proof or lack thereof in context. Teach the controversy, that's all.

It's a weak lack of confidence to fear kids hearing any views that are opposed to your POV. One that I disrespect no matter who does it.

In science there is no controversy! The "controversy" you want to teach is a product of religious believers attempting to force their beliefs into the field of science.

Your "controversy" is not appropriate in science classes; teach it in religious venues.

You didn't understand a thing I wrote. Oh well, I tried.
