Let me put it this way, the whole point of science is to discover the why's and how's of this world based on tangible facts. If you were to bring up some spiritual based aspect in a scientific forum, you are pretty much dismissing the facts and asking your students to consider ideas based on beliefs which can never be proven.
To be correct....evolution as a matter of the geologic/fossial record and a number of field studies is a fact.....facts are based on evidence, data

The theory of evolution by natural selection is a theory......but the word theory to natural scientists mean a very, very specific thing

Melicious......thanks for arguing in a mature fashion unlike the other person in some other thread......lol
