I don't go out going about proselytizing the ToE, just happens some dumbarses appear here mostly with incredulity/ignorance about it.
It is taught in school because it's legitimate work on practical fields. People in courses that don't need biology, won't be taught the ToE. Linguistic, arts, pholosophy, etc.
So you need me to tell you how wrong you were in your first reply to this thread?
I think that people should believe true things.
You can't command what people think. You can only educate the willing to learn.
When I was young like 10, I stole a jar of Sodium (Na) from shool because I was skeptical that it would explode. So I cutted a tiny bit and put it in a glass of water in my homework desk. Tiny bit, boiled over water, made a bluish flame and extinguished. In order to prove scientists wrong, had to experiment with a bigger piece. That's how you get tinitis...
What I did with the remainder of the jar, only in the presence of my lawyer.
Best thing is to educate people that might learn, about our best interpretations of facts, than others interested in the interpretation of fantasies.
