Dennis' Post

This is post is a reply to Keith's post about evolution being taught as a fact, not a theory.

I think evolution is being taught as a fact because in schools, teachers have to teach things that have more evidence or proof, like 1+1=2 or something like that. I am like Keith and I don't really believe in evolution. Also, going back to the test with the question, "Are humans still evolving?" I answered yes even though I don't believe it is the right answer, I thought it was the right answer for the test. I think what I'm trying to say is, although teachers teach things like evolution as a fact, they may not believe it themselves, and neither will some students, but sometimes people have to do something they may not agree with to avoid consequences like a lower grade for students or getting in trouble by someone higher in the school education system ladder for teachers.
