In schools in the US and
many other coun-
tries, the theory of
evolution is put for-
ward as the only ex-
planation of the origin
of life and as a scientific fact.
However, this is now known not to be the case.
As we have seen in this book, there is not one sci-
entific proof of the theory of evolution. Therefore,
if students are to be taught theories that explain
the origin of life, then the fact of creation should
be included among them. In addition, it must
be made clear that the theory of evolution
cannot account for life on Earth, and students
should be taught about the scientific evidence
against the theory. Otherwise, students will be
condemned to hearing about a theory that is im-
posed by a one-sided and ideological system.
