Evolution is a failed theory at this point and has no place being taught as science anymore than the “sun is a pile of burning coal” theory that predated nuclear fusion. Like most other parts of the liberal faith any attempt to engage in scientific debate is met with intellectual witch burning. The left is systematically conducting scorched earth tactics against anyone who does anything other than mouth their atheist dogma. There is little point in getting into a detailed analysis of the science liberals love to ignore to maintain their own worldview, but anyone who studies both sides of issues like evolution or climate change with a scholarly perspective soon realizes that the entrenched theories do not adequately explain the data.

That is false, and nothing more than a creationist talking point. Why don't you let science be the judge of what is, and is not, science, and what has failed? They are qualified in this area, you are not. For that matter, creationists have been declaring the theory of evolution as failed for 150 years. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now. They should just learn to leave science alone.

...anyone who studies both sides of issues like evolution or climate change with a scholarly perspective soon realizes that the entrenched theories do not adequately explain the data.

I studied evolution for six years in graduate school, and included both fossil man and human osteology on my Ph.D. exams. It is the nonsense that creationists keep coming up with that fails to explain the data. Dinosaurs and humans cavorting around together? A 6,000 year old earth? Those religious beliefs, applied to scientific questions, are what do not adequately explain the data.
