The symbol/value pi is a well known mathematical concept, that has been proven.

How is that relevant to our discussion? If the majority of taxpayers vote to change math so that Pi=3, your logic requires you to support them.

The theory of evolution is just a theory

As is the theory of gravity, or germ theory. What's your point?

which atheists like to believe

Are you saying that all atheists believe the TOE, or that the TOE is only believed by atheists? Both statements are wrong.

and want to force everyone else to believe, is fact.

How is anyone being "forced" to believe the TOE?

Because pi has been proven as the truth, therefore students should be taught it. But they should not be taught that a mere theory (and a poor one at that) is the truth. They could be taught that it is one POSSIBILITY, since it has not been proven.

"Are you saying that all atheists believe the TOE"

well what else would an athiest believe? That we simply materialized, or were put here by aliens?

"How is anyone being "forced" to believe the TOE?"

young impressionable children, who are conditioned to believe what they are taught in school, are being taught that the TOE is FACT. Not a theory, not a possibility, but FACT. Thats what kids are being taught.
