Listening to evolutionists, one would think that the study of this theory (yes, theory) is absolutely critical to children if they are to have any chance to succeed or become productive members of society.

Oh, the poor children will graduate barefooted, unable to read, write, add, subtract, talk without stuttering or grasp known scientific facts and principles.

Sorry, evolution, i.e., life evolving from nothing and monkeys morphing into people, does not qualify as scientific fact. If it did, you enlightened evolutionists would load up the fossils of the missing link on to a flatbed trailer and go on a coast-to-coast tour to every church parking lot to show off the purpose of your life.

No one questions changes within a species in order to adapt to environmental changes, and evolution in this sense is understandable. But cross-species evolution is nothing more than a faith or religion to those who belong to the Church of Darwin.

Come on, irreparable harm to our children? I don’t believe there’s a doctor, engineer, chemist, plumber, farmer, carpenter, soldier, etc., that opens up his book of evolution to guide them through their chosen professions.

Evolution only seems to be critical to “educators” and to members of the Darwin church.

One other thought: Georgia has been teaching evolution as fact for several years and somehow winds up at the bottom on SAT scores. Maybe if evolution was on the SAT test Georgia would fare better. Maybe if schools spent more time on facts and the tools needed for succeeding in the game of life, i.e., reading, writing, arithmetic, real science, etc., the kids just might have a good start in life.
