I believed in evolution for a while but I disagree with it now. I don’t think people or animals or plants evolved from anything; I believe they were created. And so does my entire family. So why did they waste my time with it in school? There’s so much more that needs to be taught, such as logic, basic research, economics, or statistics. Most people don’t understand how the media uses sleight of hand to make studies or statistics seem significant when they are based on flimsy evidence or rigged studies. I don’t see why evolution is so important.

I understand your point of view, however, the study of biology pretty much collapses if evolution is just ignored.

The reigious beliefs (regarding the creation of the universe) that you and your family share should not effect what is taught in science class to other children. (In public schools).

Over 100 years, scientists have collected massive evidence in favor of evolution. If alternative theories, which are based in fact and not religion, were to be discovered by scientists, then those theories should be taught as well in science class. Remeber, evolution uses a natural explanation to explain life, and not a supernatural, or God-related one. Also remember that your personal or religious beliefs on how we were created can be debated in philosophy or history class. Because you don’t have physical evidence to prove your theory on creation, it cannot be taught in science class.
