So those who don't believe in God, are in fact trusting in the word of man - that's no mistake on my part.
Comparing schools to churches is a little far-fetched. It would be more beneficial to teach what is known about evolution (e.g. why do we have wisdom teeth, why do viruses get resistant to medicine, etc) and ALSO its problems than to push in religion as if it were science.
I agree we should teach the theory of evolution - including the problems with the theory. There are many who do not want the problems taught. That is unscientific at best and dishonest at worst.
A lot of people miss the fact in the Bible that it says "kinds" and not "species." The Bible "kinds" is not equal to "species."
There was no need to take every variation of dog and every variation of cat.
I challenge those who disagree to tell me where I can find an Evolution Temple where people pray to Darwin.
Any local school will do - or university for that matter. Just look at the controversies surrounding the preposterous idea of trying to get schools to teach the scientific problems with the theory of evolution. No, we can't have that. We must indoctrinate our little children to believe evolution even though it has known problems.
The origins of life and the earth are a matter of faith, whether you believe the Bible or you believe in evolution. No person was there and no person can scientifically prove molecules to man, goo to you via the zoo evolution - just as no man can scientifically prove the 6 day creation account. Creationists and evolutionists both have the same facts, the same evidence. It's just a matter of how you try to fit that evidence into your worldview.
If you believe the Bible account of creation, then you believe that by faith in God. If you believe in the big bang or any other of the assorted theories, then you believe those by faith in man. You either trust God and what he said about it, or you trust man and what he says.

Why did God create carnivorous animals if there was to be not death in the world as first created?
