What are you afraid of, seriously? That your kids will learn to think for themselves? I thought god gave us free will, but I guess not for your child's thoughts. If evolution is “pseudoscience (false),” why do you fear that your kids will be that gullible to fall for it? Do you consider yourself a deadbeat parent that can’t teach your kids right and they’ll go buy into anything some stranger tells them? Do you think your kids are stupid or something? Or are you afraid that they’ll actually not sound ignorant in front of evolutionists by saying that the evolutionists think “we come from monkeys” or that “we’ve never seen a dog give birth to a fish”? If anything, it would make your kids critique evolution in educated terms. Personally, if my kids wanted to learn about religion, I'd have no problem at all with doing so.
(Oh, and by the way, even if you reject macro-evolution, you still have to teach micro-evolution, which means Darwin had to be right at least on half of it.)

I have no problem with my Kids being taught a theory its when its taught as fact that its upsetting because as yet it is unproven, and never will be. People call Christians weired because we believe in things we cannot prove I say evolutionists are strange for the exact same reason so I am afraid we will have to disagree on this one

I am sorry.......but Evolution is taught as a science in many muslim countries...including mine...(Pakistan)......However, you must not that Islam does not have a problem with it. You see, Evolution is still a theory....not a fact. There is some evidence for it.....but not conclusive. That is why, in every book, you find it written as Theory of evolution. Now, the only question i ask is, is there a possibilty, that all apes that we found as possible human ancestors may actually be ancesters of something else,,,may be the gorilla,. THe reason parents at times are reluctant to teach there children evolution is because of the evolutionist's insistance and forceful elimination of religon and GOD from the equation. Without God, there will be no Morals, no society. The fact is that, in strict terms, there is more proof out there pointing that GOD exsist rather than the proof that he doesnot exsist. BUt media is more influenced by the scientists who are bent upon a No God universe which frightens us.

Yes, evolution should be taught to all kids. Some don't seem to understand that evolution can in fact be proved, simply by examining fossils of early humans. Also, some people don't seem to understand the difference between a theory and a scientific theory. The latter must be tested and scrutinized until proved to be likely true, until someone proposes a better alternative. So far no one has proved evolution to be false in over 100 years since the theory was submitted. Lastly, evolution DOES NOT examine religion anyway. So why don't religious people simply take their kids to church if they want them to hear about creation.

Creationism isn't technological know-how, on account that it begins with a end and appears up information to end up that end. It is infallible which fits towards the standards of technological know-how. Evolution however is a thought that was once formulated from proof and information amassed over a long time, and remains to be being validated and increased upon, aka it's fallible and testable. If Creationism is taught it cannot study as technological know-how on account that it quite simply isn't.

When you ask this type of question you get a lot of uneducated answers. It hard to even add up the amount of completely off base answers in for this question. You have answers about the beginning of the universe (has nothing ot do with evolution) and you have people lumping macro-evolution, micro-evolution, and the evolution of humans into one term called "the theory of evolution". try posting this question in the education or science area for better answers.

Evolution is not science. Science is what can be observed, tested, and repeated in the lab by others. Noone has ever seen the beginning of the universe. Do you believe the universe created itself out of nothing> Do you believe it was always here? Both answers violate the laws of thermodynamics. That's the least of your problems. Try telling us how the Colorado River went uphill 4,000 feet for millions of years to carve out the Grand Canyon for example. They told me in school that stalagmites and stalagtites take millions of years to form. Do you know that the basement of the Lincoln Memorial is filled with these things?! How about petrified trees extending through multiple layers of rock formation proving those layers can't be millions of years? Or why don't you Google 'Stuckie the Dog' a petrified dog stuck in a tree. Did you know that petrification can take only a year or less. How about the petrified pickle?
Were you ever shown evidence for creation in school or were only shown the evidence for evolution? Did you know there was evidence disproving most evolutionary claims? If you went to a public school I doubt you were. Is this how one thinkd for himself?

The problem I have is that it isn't so much that they don't want their children taught about evolution, it's that they don't want any children taught about evolution. If a person wants their kids to grow up ignorant, they sure as hell focus on their kids and let me raise mine to be intelligent.

No, they're afraid they'll have to change their whole system of values. That must be hard. But the sooner the better.
