Because the idea is so overwhelmingly supported by all the available scientific evidence that it has been demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt. Your ignorance based tirades do not constitute "reasonable doubt".

Theories are taught based on the quantity and quality of positive evidence. All theories are NOT equal in this respect. Do you think we should teach the Geocentric Theory of the universe to kids as well as the Heliocentric one? They’re both UNPROVEN THEORIES, so should we teach BOTH and let PARENTS and CHILDREN decide?
| Quote | | My tax dollars are funding this education system just like yours are and I have a different opinion on something that is an unprovable fact in either direction. Why is my opinion shut out and vilified? Is this country supposed to be a representative democracy or is it not? Last time I checked IT WAS. |
For the umpteenth time – science is NOT a democracy, and scientific truth is NOT decided by popular vote. Your opinion based on ignorance doesn’t mean jack sh*t to the scientific realities of the evidence.
Dave, for an otherwise intelligent guy, you’re sure doing a good impersonation of a cement-headed dumbf*ck.
