"Darwin only presented a hypothesis that has not yet been proved by him or anyone else," Shraiber said.

It is strange to single out evolution for this claim, when it applies equally to all other scientific explanations for phenomenon.

"Hence, we think that school education imposes this theory on children as the only scientific option, which violates the human right to free choice."

This is a strange claim. How is a right to "free choice" violated by presenting the only existing scientific option regarding species diversity?

Ask any number of school graduates who got good grades in their biology class, what is the proof of evolution and they will cite fossil records. But ask similar group a similar question about physics or chemistry and they will cite space travel, atomic bomb, stuff that went boom under their noses, etc.

If there is a real proof of evolution, let them teach it. When they teach that occurence of similar dead species in archaeological layers proves evolution they insult the intelligence of better students and further dumb down the bad ones.

[whispering out loud]

Fine, if you don't want them to teach other possible, and widely believed explanations for the origin of man, then science teachers should at least be required to bring all the questions to evolution, as well as the evidence that does not support evolution. But that will never happen, because then students might think for themselves, and when the lack of supporting evidence, and evidence against evolution is brought, then the theory falls apart to anyone with functioning brain cells.
