That seems to be your go to alternative ... not mine. You see, you people are so trapped in the left-right paradigm syndrome, it's always a choice between two false constructs.
Can you imagine for a moment that I might reject both fairy-tales? Both old white haired men .. the one in the clouds and the one who thinks a monkey is his uncle?
Try ... it's true .. I don't believe either story. And it's very telling that you seem to believe that everyone must chose one or the other.
Darwin isn't the only person who promoted evolution, most of the civilized world supports evolution.

Good grief, you need to educate yourself....Evolution is fact. Not only that but without using the facts of evolution our life span would be greatly reduced...You have some catching up to do.

The bible says otherwise. Your science books have no merit here.
My stance is that neither evolution or creationism should be taught in public schools.
Schools should teach natural history(biology without evolution) and leave the controversial stuff for elective courses of study(college).
I can see some merit in your suggestion. It is better to leave the unproveable origins of existence alone entirely than to teach an unproveable theory such as evolution as fact.
The bible says otherwise. Your science books have no merit here.
Even If the Bible didn't exist, there is no evidence to support the theory of evolution as Darwin himself readily admitted. There are no transitional forms to show that any species evolved from any other. I don't see how the most resolute atheist can accept such a flawed theory. There is no evolution. There is only extinction and survival.

But it does, and the fact is that the Bible is the most cited reference that evolution is false. No other study, journal, paper, or book is cited more often, none.
Yes indeed! You can selectively breed for specific characteristics as Hitler intended to do with his blue eyed blonde superman baby factories, but what you end up with is obviously just another human. You can breed work horses or race horses but they are still just horses.
There is nothing wrong with teaching evolution as a theory, along with creation as a theory. Neither should be taught as proven fact, because both are unproveable.
You obviously don't understand what the word "theory" means.
Evolution and Natural Selection are the ONLY reasonable explanations for life as we know it. It cannot be disproven (not yet anyway) and any other hypothesis, including the God hypothesis, is laughable and has no business in any science class...period.
