Evolution is a scientific fact which deals with the adaptation of species to their environments. The supposed opposing view, intelligent design/creationism deals with the creation of the species. The two views are not even contradictory as they deal with completely different events as evolution does not deal with creation at all. So, should a scientifically proven event such as evolution be taught in science classes, yes. There is no question.

Evolution is a theory. And there are some problems with that theory.
Again, we come to the question, what if both sides are wrong? Is Biblical creation scientifically proveable? Of course not. It's a religious belief system. However, no one can verify that macroevolution has taken place. I suspect science will answer this question 1,000 or more years into the future. One thing that would totally discredit evolution would be the discovery of human life on other worlds. If multiple human species could be found, that pretty much does it for evolution, because the way the theory is ordered, it took several "miraculous" coincidences for man to evolve from an ape.

evolution is no more a theory than gravity is. we shouldnt lump "evolution" with "man evolved from ape." those are two completely different things.

Truth-Bringer - Here is a definition of theory from The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy:
theory In science, an explanation or model that covers a substantial group of occurrences in nature and has been confirmed by a substantial number of experiments and observations. A theory is more general and better verified than a hypothesis. When someone says evolution don't automatically assume they are just talking about the evolution of humans. |

Although the evolutionary theory not necessarily assumes that human evolved from monkeys, I actually do believe in an ape-like ancestor of humans. And why not? I do as well believe in (very old) common ancestors of dogs and oaks. Chimpansees and humans are clearly more alike than dogs and oaks. And I do not believe in an evolutionary theory that is applicable for all life except humans. Humans obey to the same scuientific rules as all other life and the fact that we are much more intelligent than monkeys, dogs or worms does not change anything on that.
Besides, I do not think that believing in evolution necessarily interferes with believing in a God (although I do not believe in a God myself). In science some processes have proven to be undeterministic. So even in science, there is some space for 'the hand of God'. An evolutionary biologist |

evolution (science) doesnt necessarily interfere with the belief in god, but it brings into question what is written in scripture, so religious people must deny science so not to question their own faith.
