Im not sure why people have a problem with evolution being in schools. I talked about this alittle in a previous blog. Dr. maxfield did a good job of explaining that it is called the "evolutionary theory" not "evolutionary fact." What does this mean for people learning about evolution in schools? It means the same thing when you learn about how homo sapiens got to to the Americas? Did they cross a landbridge connecting Russia with Alaska? Did Egyptians come over on boats and thats how there are pyramids in central america? Was there Human ancestors here all along?

These are all theories, and I remember learning all of these reasons in ancient history in highschool. How silly would it be if my mother stomped into the school and screamed out the teacher for telling her about the theory of Egyptians coming over on boat. She would yell and say "we are a family that strictly believes in people coming from Russia!" In regards to human creation, we need to learn about all the theories. Learning about the theory doesn't mean believing in the theory.

Some say that, just like you cant express a certain religion in school, you cant express evolution-because evolution is a religion (atheism). I believe this viewpoint to be a little off base. The definition of Atheism is "the doctrine or belief that there is not God." I will buy a coke for anyone who can show me that principle in an evolution textbook.
