I'm just saying your beloved scientist don't know either.
Would you like your kids to be taught global warming is a fact?

Questions evolution where it has no evidence? Why do you focus on evolution? The problem is that evolution has a host of critics that dervie their objections purely from the religious beliefs and try and cloak them in science. So any objections to evolution are immediately suspect.
There are a multitude of other theories in other science classes that have many more problems than evolution. If you are going to start looking into theories that should not be taught you need to start in a place where the evidence is far less conclusive. For example: How the dinasours became extinct or how humming birds fly.
If you are going to point out gaps in evolutionary theories you need to cite some scientific article that points out such gaps. And it can't be a Ty cite (a clearly biased source like a manuscripts out of Liberty University). I think you will find such Gaps have been pointed out by religious laymen and not experts.
As far as Global Warming is concerned, I have no problem with a class that cites statistics of the earth getting warmer. However, the fact that the earth is going to continue to get warmer is not a fact. And no science class would ever teach that. There are no facts about the future only predictions. And as long as Global Warming is taught as a prediction, I have no problem with that.
If the majority of climatologists think the earth is going to get warmer, then they can say that in class.
But concerning the past and evolution, certain sub - theories of evolutionary theory have less evidence than others, but as far as I know, there isn't a statistically signicant number of legitimate biologists, Geneticists or evolutioninsts that think man did not evolve some other primate and that all complicated lifeforms on earth did not evolve from single celled animals.
Am I wrong?
