Religious people tend to have more children than non-religous people. Therefore, over the coming centuries, the genes of religious people will be more likely to be passed on. Religious people have a differential reproductive advantage.
The result will be that evolution will not be taught in school in a thousand years.

Eh, stupidity over the long term doesn't confer an evolutionary advantage, so I suspect you're wrong :-)

Catholics (of which I claim membership) have a higher reproduction rate than fundamentalist Christians -- and the Catholic Church has accepted the validity of Evolution. Therefore, the result will be that fundamentalist Christianity and its anti-evolution stance will have disappeared long before the end of the next thousand years.
