Believe what you want! Teach creation in church where it belongs and evolution in science class where it belongs.

Please clarify, should it be taught as fact or as theory? It is presented as fact in schools today although there is no evidence in the fossil record, as Darwin said there should be, to subsatntiate the theory.

False. See below:




Fossil: KNM-ER 3733

Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)

Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)

Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)

Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)

Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)

Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)

Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)

Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)

Ludicrously false. It's one thing to say that you don't find the evidence persuasive, or that you place greater weight on the Bible. But anyone who claims that there is *no* evidence for evolution in the fossil record is either woefully misinformed or making deliberate misrepresentations.
