Unfortunatly evolution is being taught even before kids enter school. Evolution is being thrust upon young minds as they began to read. When a boy becomes fascinated by dinosaurs, like many do, they will probably pick up a book and I am willing to bet that 99.5% of the time the words "millions and millions of years ago" will be within the first couple of pages. I strongly believe that such comments as that should be avoided. Evolution, creationism, and everything that pertains to the same basic idea should be explored together in a science class each getting equal attention. This would allow the students to actually think for themselves on a controversial topic instead of being made to learn that evolution is a "fact".
