I believe in the science of evolution but I also believe in the existence of a God. I believe only the science should be taught in public funded schools and the religious side, if any, be taught at home. Maintain everyone's right to believe and practice what they want as long as they are not infringing on the rights of others.

By "theory of evolution," most people mean the theory that humans developed from "lower" life forms. Public schools should teach that the preponderance of evidence indicates that theory is correct. Gaps in the theory should be part of education too, but that is not the same thing as substituting religious belief for scientific investigation.
@LKMT6Q3세3Y
Scientific theories are not matters of faith. This theory, like all others, should be approached intellectually honestly. Evidence to support and disprove it should be weighed and examined carefully. Based on the evidence presented thus far, I accept the theory of evolution as a helpful model to describe phenomena observed in this reality. Time, and scientific scrutiny, will tell if it ought to be replaced by a better model.
@K29MZJ3세3Y
There is evidence to support it. However, I am against public education, and parents should be able to send their children to a school of their choice. Schools that don't teach children the skills they need to succeed in a future career won't do well in the long run. If it turns out that not believing in evolution hurts one's ability to get a job, then the schools that don't teach it will suffer. On the other hand, if it turns out that people can gain the skills required for gainful employment irrespective of whether or not they were "taught" to believe in evolution, then who cares?
@HN8MYR3세3Y
Yes, and should be required in public schools along with other theories, for educational comparison equally, so that students can make a more informed choice about what they believe, and hopefully be more open and accepting of all systems of belief.

Evolution is a theory--there are several different theories of evolution (i.e. gradual change vs. punctuated equilibrium) which are in convlict with each other. Regardless of my personal beliefs, however, all relevant theories should be taught in public schools as the current state of scientific understanding along with historical data so that young minds understand just because we think this today doesn't mean we are right--we might learn more tomorrow. Knowledge and curiosity and the drive to learn and gain a better understanding of the world around us should be encouraged.
@HKK7BD3세3Y
I believe in Evolution. This is not a political issue. Evolution should be taught in schools, but children who believe in creationism should not be penalized or marginalized in any way. Parents should be able to remove their children from classes whose content they disagree with on a religious basis.
@G3BPBG3세3Y
Evolution is the most natural theory that accurately accounts for our observations of how life works. I *know* this to be fact; theory of evolution predictions *do* match what countless people observe, and this match doesn't care whether anyone believes in it.
