Evolution should be taught in school. Creationism should be taught in sunday school.

I always liked the first part of evolution where random minerals evolved into living tissue.

It's almost like a miracle, isn't it?

You're confusing evolution by means of natural selection with abiogenesis. Evolution states simply that populations change over time.

Nope, not even close. It would have been a miracle if the raw elements of the universe did not evolve into life given the conditions we know to have existed.
