If you're interested in fairytales I'd recommend Pushkin; the kind of thing you describe is a system of fairytales for grown people.

As opposed to the fairy tales from the first bullet? At least the evolution tales weren't made by the same people who believed the Earth to be flat and the stars to be set in an Earth-covering dome with a heaven beyond.

Moreover, it's a system of fairytales based upon a patently idiotic theory which has known and unavoidable pathalogical social and political consequences

Political and social problems have nothing to do with the validity of a theory. The heliocentric theory begat serious political, religious, philosophical, and social problems, yet there aren't too many people challenging it anymore.

and that theory is being held at present, despite overwhelming disproofs having been presented,

If overwhelming scientific (not religious pseudoscience) disproofs existed, evolution theory would have fallen and the disprover would be a very famous and probably rich person. This is the way science works.

True, but given the fact that this particular theory (evolution) has been repeatedly disproven and has no validity, the fact that it has pathological political and social consequences has to be considered in determining whether or not public funds should be used to support it.

The way science works is that it proves its propositions. There is absolutely no proof for the theory of evolution but there is tons of proof for all other scientific theories. Half of what Darwin said in his books, on what he based his theory has been disproven by real science. The evolutionists never enter into discussion as to what the science is of their atheistic/materialistic philosophy because there is none.
