1) Evolution is NOT 100% random! The random mutations go through the non-random filter of natural selection!
2) No evidence for believing this - doesn't belong in science classes.
3) See above.

How does it require more "faith" to accept that evolution happened naturally than happening under the supervision of a deity? :S

Re: Orientation of faith is environmentally determined
Sure, teach all points of view - but fortunately, not all points of view are equal. Especially in the science classroom, the only "point of view" that makes sense in light of the evidence is evolutionary theory. If your kids don't believe in it, too bad. What if they didn't believe in gravity or a round earth?
