How does this demonstrate why evolution needs to be taught? Isnt what I described evolution in a nutshell? if not where am I wrong? I can see your point that creationism is preaching in a labcoat, however evolution is not a fact. It is a theory.
It demonstrates the need for teaching the subject because your description of it does for evolution what the Flintstones did for history. If that truly is your understanding of it, then I repeat, you're just plain factually wrong. To get you started, consider that no species alive today is the ancestor of any other species alive today.
As for that last part: how about you explain what a theory is in a scientific context and we'll tell you if you win. There may be a prize as well (sorry, no cash alternatives).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
