Yep, science should be taught in the science class, NOT religious dogma.

Unfortunately evolution doesn't even qualify as a true science.

A definition of science given by the Oxford Dictionary is:
"A branch of study which is concerned either with a connected body of demonstrated truths or with observed facts systematically classified and more or less colligated by being brought under general laws, and which includes trustworthy methods for the discovery of new truths within its own domain."

Evolution fails to meet the criteria of being a true science.
Evolution has never been observed by anyone... and evolutionist themselves admit no transitional forms have been observed in the fossil record.
Evolution has never been demonstrated in a laboratory.

Though it is rather funny that all these supposedly "highly educated" men would spend so much time trying to cause something to "evolve" and create even the most basic form of life..JUST to prove to us that it *took no higher intelligence to create life.

Not remotely true. A textbook definition of science: "systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, and experimentation carried on in order to determine the nature or principles of what is being studied; any branch of knowledge or study, esp. one concerned with establishing and systematizing facts, principles, and methods, as by experiments and hypotheses."

Evolution has never been observed by anyone...

Natural selection & microevolution certainly have been observed in process. The evidence of macroevolution may also be observed throughout the paleontological record. The fundamental components of evolution may be observed via the sciences of genetics & ecology, in tandem.

and evolutionist themselves admit no transitional forms have been observed in the fossil record.

Absolutely false.

Evolution has never been demonstrated in a laboratory.

Neither have any number of other scientific disciplines, such as the theory of gravitation (already raised here). However, the operant processes of evolution may certainly be in large part demonstrated and/or examined via the means described above.

There is no magic-or Harry Potter would be non-fiction. Why must God provide us with docum,entation of His work? The transitional forms abound-we just lack the paper-work & detail. We also lack patience-put us back to 5,000 years before Christ & we would believe every animal a demi-god & every sight & sound to be a warning. Our own thinking has evolved-with some cathartic assistance about 2,000 years back.

Obviously, the laboratory of appropriate proportions to demonstrate Evolution is a bit large ( awaiting government funds & will likely be constructed in West Virginia )-but then what of the mutation of viral & bacterial organism, HUMMMM??? Must we find a billion of their fossilized & orderly mutated forms, all like ducks in a row to 'believe' they mutated or evolved??

I'm with you, Jorge. I'm still waiting for the fossil evidence. Gotta be some somewhere, right????
