Please do not take any offensive “hate mail” written by Christians as an example of Christianity. We are not very good Christians; we who use words of hate. You must understand, however, that you have completely pissed us off. This site is just stupid. The concept is stupid. I can give you evidence against evolution if you so desire.
I do sort of agree that ID should not be taught in schools, but neither should evolution. It is wrong that evolution, classified as SCIENTIFIC THEORY, is taught as a fact. Teaching evolution in schools is just as offensive to us as teaching ID in schools is to you. We are all people.
The majority of Christians do not want to press our beliefs upon anybody else. The same cannot be said for scientists, it appears. Plus, while Christians want to bring wayward people to God for the wayward people’s sake, scientists want to study and elaborate on evolution because they think they can discover something wonderful and get rich off of it. So, there is still a difference between the two sides.
I think this whole fight is futile. It is written that God’s children will be hated by all, and I can see that’s the way it’s going. Everybody hates Christians…

The original poster said “scientists want to study and elaborate on evolution because they think they can discover something wonderful and get rich off of it. ” Really? I’ll bet you Billy Graham and the majority of televangelists are richer than the average scientist, and they offer no facts at all. If you really want to get rich and famous, come up with proof that god(s) exist. Anyone? Anyone?
yes evolution is a theory. like gravity.
by your logic nothing should be taught at school. as you are only willing to teach facts (ie things that have been proven 100%). it is impossible to prove something 100%, all we as scientist can do is aquire more and more evidence for a theory until it there is enough for it to be considered useful. even then it is not a fact. take newtons laws of motion for example, for hundreds of years these were thought to explain exactly how things moved. but then einstein came along with his theory of relitivity and completely blew it out of the water.
in conclusion, no, evolution is not a fact and perhaps it shouldn’t be taught as such but then neither is anything else, so as long as the teacher emphasises the fact that nothing should be taken as fact there is no reason not to teach evolution. it has more than enough evidence.
I hate the ‘it’s just a theory’ argument, a theory is based on facts
