there is no SCIENTIFIC theory of evolution. We cannot test the past. The past happened once and is non repeatable. Science is based on testing that can be repeated in the present.
So, evolution is not science. It is an idea that is supported by science. Even though poorly supported.
Please give it a rest. You are simply incorrect. Evolution driven by mutations is happening constantly. The evidence is plentiful that true species have evolved due to an accumulation of mutations that proved beneficial to successive generations that descended from one or more given individuals. It is your choice not to recognize the evidence for what it is, not to mention the also very plentiful evidence from comparative anatomy.
Plus, you are not qualified to make such an assertion in an authoritative manner. In a court of law, you would be shooed away under examination to serve as an expert witness as not having any credentials in science.
A student visited his old school, 20 years after his graduation, and met an old Science professor of his. The professor happened to be grading exam papers, and the student was surprise to notice that the questions were exactly the same as they were two decades ago. He asked the professor about the possibility of the leakage of the exam paper such that the students would have known the questions in advance.
The professor smiled wryly and answered, "Don't worry about that, my dear boy. I've changed the answersevery year."

That must have happened in one of the evangelical protestant private schools.

I guess I missed the punch line.
This kind of reminds me of the back and forth in the Church regarding whether it is legitimate for a Christian to accumulate any significant wealth because that would not reflect the example of Jesus's own life. The teaching seems to change every generation or so. Or maybe how to interpret the Book of the Revelation. Changes all the time. (Thomas Jefferson thought the Book of the Revelation was written by a nutcase and is impossible to 'interpret'. You can look it up!)
Homeschooling represents a retreat from society on religious grounds, rather than actively engaging in the local political process to achieve meaningful progress in the local school systems by working with one's fellow citizens.
As one who has home schooled 2 children, I can say that at no time during the home schooling process did religion or religious issues enter into any of the daily lesson plans.

And I'm sure you provided an excellent chemistry set for teaching purposes, like those found in the chem labs in the better public high schools.
I wonder how many homeschoolers can do the same? But maybe knowledge of high school chemistry is not important to most American homeschoolers.

What you do in your personal life has very little to do with most Americans, I can count on that. You are a political purist.
Homeschooling represents a retreat from society on religious grounds, rather than actively engaging in the local political process to achieve meaningful progress in the local school systems by working with one's fellow citizens. The practice is encouraged by evangelical pastors, especially in the southeastern USA, so they too are encouraging the fragmentation of society at the local level. It is a protest against the domination by the federal government of school administration. However, this 'dominance' represents a consolidation down the local level of 20th century knowledge, including a curriculum that teaches the science behind evolution, which has consistently been resisted by the retrograde culture (that is, anti-intellectual, centered on southern-style protestant Christianity) found in the South.
Yeah, that all sounds good and all, but it's totally a caricature and generalization.
Me thinks you should google the following: atheist homeschool

You must think that my opinion has no basis in reality. You must not live in the South.
Do you disagree that Southern culture is anti-intellectual?
