Evolution shouldn't be taught in public schools

Just wait for Conservapedia to publish this as proof that evolution doesn't work.

Maybe if he looked into his family tree and looked at IQ he'd see how the brain capacity of his ancestors has decreased ever since they started reading the good book.

Imagine how the world would be if reality could be bent by will and wishes. Lol.

Alas, reality does not work that way.

*facepalm* what a moron. Is this a serious letter?

This idiot is a moron and should get HIS facts straight.

First of all, a general idea of what evolution is and how it works is necessary. Basically, the fittest and the strongest of all species survive. Those that are not fit and strong used to die before they could reproduce. So, the following generation would only have the genes and the instincts of those who survived - making them fitter and stronger, with the features that help them survive.

It's not like we went from fish to humans overnight. The process took millions of years of killing off the weak and mating the strong to get us to this phase. You don't just plant tomatos and get watermelons.

And THAT is what is taught in school.

They teach us about DNA and genes, all things that are proven to exist, and then they teach us the theories that go along with those things. The theories just happen to lead up to the theory of evolution. And, that makes sense. They teach us cold hard facts and the reasoning behind the logic of the geniouses who came up with that stuff in school. Why? Because, without explaining that, we wouldn't have as good of an understanding of the world.

School offers an alternative view to the one that religion offers. I'm sure they would teach us the religious views and reasoning behind that too, except that the religious people themselves are so intolerant of it. Honestly, if a teacher even says the word God wrong, a bunch of parents jump down their throat. So how could they possibly teach us about religion - all religions - without getting sued and offending a bunch of parents?

Science is the view that is uncontroversial. It is accepted by parents as reasonable to teach the kids, where as religion is not. And since something has to be taught to us (god forbid we discover it on our own), they choose the science view on it.

What I find quite amusing is that this guy is disproving god not evolution. He was hoping that the tomatoes would turn into watermelons why couldn't god do this? Since he as so handy with miricals and doing stuff like saving planes that crash into the Hudson making tomatoes into watermelons shouldn't even be a challange for this all powerful god.
