And yes evolution is the biological mechanism by which life adapts to its perpetually changing environment. So yes it should be taught in science classes in public schools.

And who does the changing... God The creator.Our little finite minds can't even understand how our brain works.

If God is kicked out , then evolution should be thrown out too. Why teach it ?

I for one place very few expectations on an omnipotent God. But that would be one.

Macro-evolution should not be taught, as it is unsupportable

And a God IS supportable? Rainbows and babies' smiles don't count.

Your soul is body and spirit together.

There is no such thing as either micro-evolution or macro-evolution.

There is only evolution.
