First, we should define some terms that should be obvious, but to those unaware, here they are.

Fact:a truth known by actual experience or observation

Evolution:change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.

Now evolution, through observation of valuable fossils, has been determined as the history of species on Earth. There is evidence, a corollary to fact, which supports it. No longer is it just a theory. There is empirical evidence to support it.Therefore, science classes, instruments of teaching what academia has shown to be fact, should teach Evolution.

Side: Of course!

Science has to be observable, and repeatable. Evolution is neither. Evolutionist have things THEY have decided are evidence. Over 50,000 other scientist say no way is evolution scientific. And a lot of them are no christians.

Science must be repeatable, testable and confirmable by other scientists, even (and especially) skeptical ones. The edifice of law and theory that science builds must be representative of a "shared" perception that can be observed and verified by anyone equipped with good observation skills and appropriate measuring tools.

no one has ever, I mean ever, observed one kind of animal turn into another KIND of animal or creature etc.

repeatable, not observable. also you seem to not understand evolution.

Indeed. Evolution is no longer a mere hypothesis. There's far too much evidence and documentation behind it.

If the No votes have prove evolution is a fraud, write a paper and win the nobel prize.

Evolution is not provable. None of the fossils have ever been linked. There are still too many proofs against it.

first and second law of thermodynamics even prove evolution is not possible.

Evolution is not provable.

Sort of true, but it is disprovable, and that hasn't been done.

None of the fossils have ever been linked.

False.

There are still too many proofs against it.

No, and statement doesn't make sense.

first and second law of thermodynamics even prove evolution is not possible.

False.

Let me ask you how much 1+1=? 2

Yes this is a consensus we all have. It is logical, proven by all methods universally accepted.

Now i dont believe in evolution as you don't believe in god. Saying that there are numerous proof which supports it is a fallacy because there a as many facts not supporting it. We should only teach in a PUBLIC school what has been agreed in a universal consensus. Because this will show us that we all can demonstrate it and there is no other way We have studied it and concluded all that in the same way that this is the only answer to it

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes anther's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises. that quotation is what you try to impose to our children which i cant accept. However you can teach it in a atheist school

Side: Absolutely not!

Evolution should be taught as a theory and open to all kinds of questions.

why should it surly schools should remain neutral and teach every popular theory there is?

Schools should teach what is supported by massive amounts of scientific evidence, not what is supported by popular opinion.

Side: Of course!
