These are the facts, whether you want to accept that is entirely up to you but fairly tales do not belong in a science class.

It only becomes a controversial issue when you've got people that still subscribe to primitive ideas despite the hard evidence that is laid out in front of them that contradicts these ideas.

When teaching science the only theories that need to be taught are scientific theories. I'm sorry but "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth" just doesn't cut it as a credible theory.

Ok here is where you're wrong buddy. Evolution isn't fact. Evolution is not proved. Evolution isn't accepted by all scientists. Science class is supposed to be learning the world around you, not where it came from because without faith it is ALL speculation, unless you want to rely on the formation of all the species in the world on Carbon Dating & Bones. There is no evidence of evolution in the present but there have been of Religion. How do you explain the thousands of people that have been possessed and cured by Exorcism, or the millions of people that have claimed to have seen God, or the millions that say that God has changed their life? Why can you put a human body back together and a heart will not beat? Can you answer those questions? No, no one can.
