Here is what is all too obvious from your posts. You did not say that the concept of theory should be taught or that a discourse on, say, Popper's works on scientific methodology should be taught in the classroom. You did not say that relativity or atomic physics should be taught as "theory not fact".

Despite the fact that the subject of the thread is evolution, if it were really your contention that "what a theory is" should be taught in the classroom you would have refered to that general principle rather than just saying that evolution "is not a fact".

it's like throwing matches to freezing down's kids and watching them try and figger out what to do...

I didn't say the theory of punctuated equillibrium should or shouldn't be taught, Popper's falsification - didn't mention that being taught or not taught either, wait a minute - I didn't mention hume's problems with causation either...damn - forgot to mention whether the theory of anti-realism should be taught or not taught - I forgot to mention whether the theory of dry anal sex over lubed too should be taught.

best of luck -
