    Well for everyone that says that it hasn't been proven; where are your facts. I feel this is a way for the devil to spoil peoples minds so they won't serve God. Creation obviously happened. How can people say there isn't a God. When I see a pregnant woman that just shows me right there that only God could make our bodies do such a thing.

    Such is the nature of the scientific method. A hypothesis is proposed, then specimens are studied. The specimens support or contradict the hypothesis. And so you form a working theory. The theory undergoes further developments as more is learned. Yes, Darwin wasn't correct on everything. Nobody thinks he was. Darwinian evolution was proven wrong, but post-Darwinian evolutionary theory has abundant foundation.

    Trolling, you're question has the same intellectual content as saying "The round Earth theory has been proven wrong, why do they still teach it?" I can direct you to a bunch of websites that will prove the Earth is flat but you need to have an "open mind" and listen to "both sides" not just those atheist liberals that insist the Earth is shaped like a ball.

    Darwin's theory of evolution has undergone significant changes since he came up with it, especially in terms of how traits are passed from parent to offspring and how changes to these traits are made. Where is your evidence that the theory of evolution has been discredited? There's a huge amount of scientific sources that support the theory of evolution here:

    I still teach it because it is the only theory backed by scientific evidence. That, and I don't teach faith or belief in my biology class.

    I don't know who your source isbut a far as i know the theory of evolution hasn't been proven wrong so there is no problem in it still being taught.

    Because it has been proven right. It if was proven wrong, it would no longer be a scientific theory. And the person who did so would probably win a Nobel Prize for completely proving modern biology/genetics to be wrong as well.

    Evolutionary theory has not been proven wrong. It has been reinforced and expanded constantly since Darwin first published "The Origin of Species" in 1837. It is the most complete, most logical framework for understanding the vast diversity of organisms that exist on Earth.

    Cite a reference to your allegation. Darwin works entirely fine, Galapagos finches to hospital superinfections to insects increasingly resistant to new insecticides to melanotic moths vs. soot deposition.

    In chemistry it is Le Chatelier's Principle (when a stress is brought to bear upon a system in equilibrium the equilibrium shifts to relieve the strain). That works just fine too.

    In the whole of human history across the entire planet not one deity has volunteered Novocain. It is a telling omission.

    Congratulation's Ray H. For asking one very important question,which I as a Human Being find very crucial on how I view myself. Imagine if that were really true???????????????But Ray be at ease for we, were created with Love, Tenderness, Devotion, with the Almighty hands of the One True Living God. Come on now, if were descendants of the ape man????? then God help us all. To answer your question .Darwins theory is probably is still being taught, for the reason that, a lot of people out there find that theory easier, because it gives them a million and one excuses to basically act like an Ape. JA>JA>JA>Well it's like, then they dont have to live with morals , like doing the right thing which would be the golden rule ,Treat others as you want ;others to treat you. Even people that believe that we were created by God,have difficulty because of the world that we live in. Its a day to day struggle with the right and wrong decisions. which basically tells people to do whatever you want to do since you are an animal. which is very sad.Considering that idea would mean that one does not value how we were created with a purpose. How we have been; given power , We have been given dominion here , on earth to rule over all other creatures. Which are the apes,ETC> So Darwins theory is just so unbelievably inaccurate. But hey we were each created by God unique. Not one of us is like the other. Not even identical twins are just like each other, there is always something different,ones taller, or longer face or the nose is flatter on one twin and the other twins nose is pointy. But they are like one another but never just like each other .

    the earth actually isnt round...its closer to an oblate spheroid..the roation of the earth creates an equatorial bulge essentially....not to nit pick or anything.

    The theory of evolution hasn't been proven wrong, so your question contains an invalid assumption.

    Thanks for asking.
