The Theory of Evolution should not be taught in schools. People go to school to learn information, correct information and that is not what a theory is. A theory is nothing more than a mere assumption with questionable or weak evidence to back it up because of this the theory of evolution has no place in schools. When it comes to validating a theory everyone who knows little about science knows about the scientific method. A theory must be able to complete each step before it can be proven true and this theory of evolution does not do that. Along with not being able to complete the scientific method there are other things that disprove the theory of evolution, for example, not being able to find any transitional fossils. Charles Darwin himself said without transitional fossils this theory can not be considered creditable. Another thing disproving the theory of evolution was the Cambrian explosion. This was the coincident appearance of almost all complex organic designs. If the theory of evolution was true there would be a slow process of fossils being found that are between two different species not an explosion of many species. These are just a few examples of why the theory of evolution is not true and should not be taught in schools and there are many more not mentioned.

Finally someone said it! It is just a theory and should be treated as such.

TOTAL B.S. Darwin never even proved his own ideas. Why are we still pushing this junk on our kids?

Evolution is just a guess. Teach actual facts instead of forcing this on students.
