I have a problem with it because that “church” is teaching children to embrace a religion that rejects the God of the Bible...

So many errors, so little time.

First of all, it's you that calls it a "church" and a "religion". They do not.

Second, "rejects". One can believe in God and evolution simultaneously. Many Christians do.

Third, "God of the Bible". No they may reject YOUR interpretation of just who God is, but they don't have to either reject God or the Bible to do so.

I know you'll find this unbelievable, but your point of view is actually very narrowly held. Many people have actually gone beyond Bishop Usher's 1650 theory of the date of creation.

The "fundies" like to think of themselves as a majority, but their brand of Christianity was basically born not in the manger but in Cane Ridge, KY in 1801.

As far as the polls showing belief in creationism, they never show you the breakdown by race and education for a good reason...

Actually, pretty close to half the country believes that God created the world and its inhabitants fully formed and fully functional between six and ten thousand years ago.
