To all interested in this topic I would like to point out that no
matter what one believes with respect to the Evolution vs. Creation Science
debate, some good is arising from the issue.  That is that people are
examining what our children are being taught in the schools today.
No matter what any scientist tells me today about the "theory" of evolution,
when I was in school I was taught that some things were FACTS.  PERIOD.
Don't question them.  And this is primarily due to the fact that it was
easier for my teachers to teach this way then try to explain the methods of
reasoning used to derive the current theories.  No matter what is being
taught, this type of teaching should be discouraged as no intellectual
growth ("learning") really takes place then.  This type of teaching
hinders rather than helps a person to learn. (you can see how effective
my English teachers were :-)
