I'm afraid I have to flat-out contradict your entire post. In my personal study I have travelled from young-earth creationism to being convinced that evolution has happened and is still happening and that there is no other model that explains the evidence.

The disclaimer is not a lie, but it is silly because the same goes for every other scientific theory. If they're going to slap one sticker on they ought to plaster the whole book with stickers referring to every scientific theory known.

contradict all you want, you are entitled to your right to be wrong. Some explanations being, for fossil evidence looks to me like tragic deformities, or even possibilities of just previously living species that have long since become extinct. the fact is that if man evolved from apes, they would still be doing this today, and they're not, if they were, there would be wandering around a species that is half man half ape, I don't suppose you believe in "the big foot" do you?

A little history lesson, dinosaurs fossils were first discovered in the 15 or 16th century, and it was said that man and Dino's did not coexist. If this is true, why then are dinosaurs "the behemoth, and Leviathan" recorded in the bible? (see Job chaps 40and 41) If they did not coexist man, and they were not discovered until the 1500's then how prey tell did they know of them in the Bible? If you do the math, and trace back population growth charts, "population reference bureau, allexperts.com, and several other Internet population growth charts for reference" the human population dwindles out around 7000 years ago, kinda funny about seven thousand years ago was the flood. Now I know most of the evo's will say it was due to the cultivation of agriculture. A couple of things about that though, firstly around that time the worlds population was around nothing, so basically scientist believe that a hand full of people could not survive on the bounty of the earth, but had to cultivate their own food before they could thrive? That my friend is Bologna, the earth without any man made help is capable of sustaining millions of lives, let alone thousands, or hundreds as the case would have been. Secondly, Agricultural tools were said to have been developed around ten thousand years ago, according to the scriptures, Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden and told "cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." For your refference that was in Genesis 3 So here God forces man to farm for himself, sounds to me like there was a reason for man to create agricultural tools.

The answers are there if we look for them, man has in no form existed for more than 10 thousand years, yet it took millions or even billions of years for man to evolve from "whatever". How is this possible, (rhetorical question because I've been down this road several times before with others, and the only thing they bring is the fossil charts, and theories based in theories, as evidence, and I don't buy it, not for a second.) The fact is that evolution is a theory that can be explained away, it just doesn't make sense, gravity that makes sense, as does inertia, and other theories, and they all have practical uses, the toe makes no sense, and has no practical uses. As it has no practical uses, I don't see why they should teach it at all until it is further substantiated, but if they must teach it, I wholeheartedly agree with the disclaimer.
