Why should the Darwinsim be taught as truth?

It shouldn't because science doesn't deal with "truth." It should be taught as the current state of scientific knowledge on the subject, as all science should be. One day maybe another scientific theory will come along and supplant evolution, but until then evolution is what should be taught in science courses.

Uh, sorry. In order for a theory to be 'scientific' it must be completely naturalistic because science is based on the philosophy of naturalism.

The only thing that could supplant evolution is panspermia directed by intelligent aliens that somehow 'evolved' elsewhere unobserved. This only begs the question further than science does now.

Instead of calling them 'science' classes, they should be called 'philosophical naturalism' classes. At least that would be accurate.

Your statement is self-contradictory. Evolution is an emotional response to fear; a sickness, and is as far from science as darkness is from light. Those that choose to disregard the total lack of evidence to support their imaginary hiding place, or its infinite statistical improbability, are the architects of their own futile struggle.

How nice.

I’d never have someone like you working for me. I prefer what is commonly known as “thinkers”.
