    Why not let drug users let their kids use drugs.... etc

    As TFA is about schools, let me offer this explanation:
    It's not about critical thinking to test a false theory.
    Within the school environment you have a certain amount of time to teach a subject. If you teach two 'versions' of it (one true, one false) to gain critical thinking, you halve the amount of time to teach the Quite Obviously True (TM) version.

    If the answer comes around to God Did It, it should be taught in Church, not school

    That is a fabulous and well thought out answer, and I mean no offence by anything I say beyond this.

    You proved evolution in your own answer (beaks changing etc.). Now we're just discussing the degree of change evolution offers, which is not quite the point.

    If things can evolve a little, then it follows that with time (and assuming the changes don't lead to a dead-end, or that changes in its environment do not change faster than the creature/plant can evolve to adapt), it MUST follow, that with enough time object X will eventually become very different from starting object Y.

    I hope I clarified my position

    Wut? (there goes my karma).

    Evolution is fact. Explain how countries separated thousands of years ago have similar, but not quite the same, mammals, insects, plants etc

    Or why I have a tail-bone, yet no sign of a tail

    Or cancer.

    Mutation is evolution at high-speed. Some changes improve you, some kill you. You won't know until you do it
