Why is evolution taught in our schools?

Evolution has been over promoted by those who have twisted the separation of church and state.

The result is the establishment within public education of these religions preached: Naturalism and Scientism and Humanism.

Not difficult to see.

There are no facts or evidence supporting the existance of the supernatural.

Correction: There are no facts available to you, but many of us know that Genesis one is filled with examples, which NO atheist, agnostic nor phony can refute. One example was written more than 3k years ago and Science just confirmed it 2 years ago. Want to try to convince us of ANY man who could have possibly written this so long ago? If not, then you have just realized that there IS empirical (testable) evidence of God.

You are wrong. Its not data or evidence for anything more then the fact that people belive strange things.

Waiting for you to tell us why it took more than 3k years for Science to agree with Genesis? Some think it's willing ignorance in order to preserve their own mistaken views.

DNA, ERVs.

False, since Noah's grandsons mixed Human (descendant of Adam) blood with the blood of the sons of God (prehistoric people). That's when Humans first inherited the blood of people who descended from the common ancestor of Apes. For 11k years now, Humans have carried the DNA and ERVs of prehistoric people in their veins. That does NOT mean that we evolved from them. Only that Adam was made like them when he sinned.

How about the idea that God started life, then let it evolve within the laws of the universe that he put into place? This is called Theistic Evolution.

In order to believe in TE, one MUST reject what God told us in Genesis and make up a fantasy view, which cannot be supported Scientifically Scripturally nor Historically. IOW, it's like one of Trump's lies.

As long as you understand that you will never be able to empirically prove the Creator's existence.

I can and no one here can refute what God told us more than 3k years ago, and today's science recently discovered. It's empirical (testable) evidence of God. God told us that He was going to pour out His Spirit of Truth upon ALL flesh in the last days. That includes you. Amen?

Genesis can be supported scientifically and historically? Some examples please.

Sure. Genesis 1:21, written more than 3k years ago shows:

Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly,

Science confirmed that ALL living things on Earth descended from the last universal common ancestor, who appeared in water 3.8 Billion years ago in total agreement with what God told us so long ago. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/.../behold-luca-last-universal-common-ancestor-life...Jul 26, 2016

I have many more if you wish but try to explain this one first....

Other translations don't come off that way.

Land animals are a separate creation as shown in v. 24 through 26.

Keep in mind that Aristotle stunted the growth of science for almost 2000 years with his Earth, Air, Fire, and Water version of [so called] science.

That's why I use the King James Version since it has has been read by the most people and hasn't been altered as much as the later versions.

Land animals are a separate creation as shown in v. 24 through 26.

Those are the temporary "common ancestors" which Lord God/Jesus made with His own Hands. They are "His" kinds. "Their" kinds are the kinds created by God the Trinity on the 5th Day from water. There are only two kinds, no matter what confused scientists have falsely speculated. A good example is that Lord God/Jesus made Adam from the dust on the 3rd Day. Genesis 2:7 God the Trinity "created" Adam Spiritually, Eternally on the present 6th Day. Genesis 1:27 Genesis 5:1-2 John 14:16

Aristotle predated science. He was a philosopher at best. Modern science began roughly in Galileo's time. The scientific method involves testing one's ideas and trying to show that they are wrong. And then learning from those failures. Proper failures are successes in science since they show the way not to go. Sitting there and just thinking, or relying on a holy book is not science since no or very little advances can be done doing that. Especially in religion no advances can be made if one demands that one is right no matter what.

Remember WHY the Lord slowed man's advancement down in the first place. He said: Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

The Lord knew the wickedness of man would bring us to destroying all flesh. Mat 24:22 Mar 13:20 The internet has made us all of one language again and nothing will be impossible for man. Jesus is coming soon to save us from ourselves.
