AntiGod education should not be compulsary (even for non wealthy)

If they don't teach you came from flies crawling around sewage to your children, whether you like it or not, and if you have to go to jail if you don't eat in the restarant, and if you are forced to pay for the restaurant with your tax money,and you find the service lousy, and if the product you end up eating just didn't turn out right at all-then, unless you are an evolutionist, I would suggest you take your business elsewhere!

First of all, in case you weren't listening in school, students are not forced to believe in evolution. All they have to do is understand what it is saying. Any student is free to reject the theory, but they must first understand it. No student will ever go to jail for saying "I don't believe in evolution". However, if theocracies of old are any indication, establishment of a national religion could result in non-christians going to jail/burning at the stake. I would rather rely on the tentative nature of science than the inerrant nature of theology. If evolution were falsified, guess what, they wouldn't teach it in science class. It has yet to be falsified. So maybe instead of griping you should hit the lab bench and show the world how false evolution is.

As far as "other observations" as long as they do not assume evolution, some of them may be honky dorey.

So you would agree with astronomers that the universe is billions of years old? They do not use evolutionary theories to explain their data, afterall. If not, there are a few threads on this site that deal with non-evolutionary methods of dating our solar system and the universe as a whole.
