Dear Sir,

What Christian's oppose is that a fundamental theory is being taught as a 
fact in Public Education.  Evolution does not stand the test of Scienctific 
scrutiny.  Intelligent design is another philosophy embraced by the majority 
of Scientists today.  Perhaps it shouldn't be taught in Public Education 
from your perspective but neither should an unproven theory be accepted as 
fact.

The bias of evolutionary theory is also a highly valid argument. 
Intelligent design is the accepted standard in the Scientific community 
today.  Our knowledge of genetics has shaken the foundations of life by 
accident.  Charles Darwin was a student of theology, not science.  Even he 
recanted his own theory.

If there was evidence of life by accident then it should be found in the 
fossil record.  No such evidence exists nor can we confirm it by DNA.  All 
we object too is that a theory is being taught as fact to our children.  It 
has destroyed there faith in their creator which must stop.

I'm not paying for public education for it to destroy a childs confidence in 
the existence of God.  Teach evolution if you wish but don't represent the 
theoretical as a fact.  Let me as you this, if we must teach the theory of 
evolution, then why not intelligent design?
