First, paragraphs are friends, not your enemy... :)

You have it exactly right - when they teach evolution as a fact without pointing out where it fails to explain the evidence, they are teaching a religion.

And actually, this is the whole point - they are teaching evolution as THE REASON TO NOT NEED A CREATOR.

The irony is, SCIENCE has been pointing to the existance of the Creator in every recent discovery of Universal origins and in the observation about the location of our Earth.

Gratuitous assertion gratuitously denied.

Point to ANY instance in ANY biology textbook or ANY biology curricula ANYWHERE (outside of the old Soviet Union or other explicitly atheistic venue) that either states or directively implies that evolution denies theism.

In fact your assertion is worse than gratuitous; it's palpably false. I have never seen such a thing as you suggest, and I've read dozens and dozens of antievolution books and articles that would have eagerly hyped such an example if one existed.

If that was true, then there would be 10s and 10s of millions, if not 100 million+, atheists in this country.

The fact is, the only thing stopping a child from learning about God is lazy parenting.

1 out of 4. I'm afraid you'll have to do better than that. And the only thing that's ironic is your use of the word.

And they allegedly do that where, exactly? Give an example of something they're teaching which actually "fails to explain the evidence."

No, they're not, although I suppose it might look that way to someone sufficiently steeped in anti-science propaganda. Instead, they're teaching it because it's an extremely well established and productive field of science.

The irony is, SCIENCE has been pointing to the existance of the Creator in every recent discovery of Universal origins and in the observation about the location of our Earth.

Again, an anti-evolution claim is made without a single supporting example. Gosh, how surprising. Give us your very best three examples, and we'll see how well they (and your credibility on this topic) hold up to examination.
