                                                             evolution is put for-

                                    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.
