Not believe in Evolution? Why it's all around you. Every new rose bush, tomato, zinnia color, designer dog are all part of evolution. Weather man made or actually coming about on it's own it's all changing and evolving. We are taller now then 100 years ago. So we have evolved as well. Sometimes it's a seed being carried by a bird across the states and a new plant comes into being, having to adapt and adjust to a new climate. Evolution is a science, always changing, always growing as is our planet. Just look at how dogs and cats have changed because a human hand helped with breeding. Evolution you bet. All the millions of plants, birds, insects that evolved without us evening knowing. All the mystery in the ocean we can't understand, all these creatures evolved to their climates and conditions. Just as we have. Look at the pigmey people. Shorter, smaller because they don't have as much food as we do. We are not better then them, just different. They have adapted and evolved to survive that area.
Evolution also as far as I know does not start wars. It's a science. It is also not a moral issue unless you enter something like test tube babies into the mix.

As for teaching religon in school which one should we teach? Jewish, Budda, Hindu, Jevhovah Witness, Baptist, Lutheran? Should we eat meat on Friday?
Should we go by the Jewish calender? Not believe or teach that Jesus is our savior? When was the last time a Jewish person said to you "Hey you are praying to the wrong dude, he was just a carpenter and now I am going to make sure your child learns that in school"
Tell our children that giving blood to a dying child is a sin? Or do we go by the Catholic religon and not use birth control? So many options. Perhaps we should teach the Jewish religon on Friday, Catholic on Thursday, Budda on Monday.
Seperation of church and state is one of the most important and sane things this country stands for. We need to keep our moral views out of our neighbors lives.
School is not a place for any religon, it's a place to learn, grow and accept others regardless of what they believe at home. Otherwise we become another Iraq were we are told what to believe, how to live, how to pray.
This is America and no one has the right to tell any one how to pray. Nor if sex before marriage is correct, or how many kids to have (as long as you can afford them hopefully) or not to give blood.
Do I believe in God, oh yes, do I pray everyday oh yes. I also pray that others have that freedom and that it is not in vain to all those that died giving it to us.
Loving God, praying should never be something that is forced on anyone, we should not be told who to pray to, when, where or how. No how to live our lives, as long as we don't hurt others, what we do in our homes, our bedrooms, is no ones business.

should THAT be taught?

Some people don't believe in it and there is no scientific PROOF that that's what happened. but THAT seems to be OK.

that seems to be OK with those who don't believe in any faith or religion yet it doesn't matter how it affects those who DP believe in faith or religion. there is no PROOF... DON'T teach it... PERIOD. Any mention of evolution could be JUST as offensive to the faint of heart as creationism.

I'm sick of the God hating just becasue some don't believe in it... but if families don't want evolution taught they are to go ELSEWHERE to learn.
