Even your definition of evolution includes Supernatural work. That is not allowed by the definition of evolution in public school science classes. Their evolution is devoid of any work by God, which as you pointed out earlier is a philosophical assumption...And, by the way, an assumption for which there is no scientific evidence.

If I accept your premise relative to only the Church teaching about God, which I don't...(public schools taught about God for hundreds of years), then isn't the converse true...It's not the "job" of public school science classes to explain that God is not all around us?

Your interpretation of Genesis is inconsistent with the rest of God's Word therefore a fauly and unacceptable interpretation...Scripture interprets Scripture.

You seem to have unfounded feelings of persecution. Just because a science lesson does not mention your particular god does not mean the writer of the lesson is denying your religious beliefs. Science deals in the natural and does not mention supernatural forces in one way or another. Scientists will say that the earth orbits the sun due to gravity, a natural force. You are free to believe in any supernatural forces as the ultimate causes of these natural forces. Teaching kids about gravity is not the same as teaching them that "God is not all around us."

Scripture interprets Scripture.

I wasn't aware that books were particular interested in interpreting themselves. I figured people had to do it. If you believe in religion being taught in state-sponsored schools, please explain how the religion and sect (that is, interpretation of holy books) would be decided upon. Majority rules, decided by district?
