Yes. Evolution is a fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection explains this fact.
Creationism and Intelligent Design are always rejected as science in US courts. It gives rise to a constitutional issue.
Evolutionary theory is the backbone of Biology and you are not specifically educated in biology if you do not know this theory. And I would say you are not generally educated if you do not have exposure to this, one of the core theories of science.

Should chemistry be taught in secondary schools?
Yes, many educators do believe that chemistry should be taught is secondary schools now.
What was required for the progression from chemical evolution to biological evolution?
Actually, biological evolution was never proven, though still taught in schools as a fact. Thousands, if not millions of different chemicals had to have been there all at the same exact time, with the perfect timing and arrangement for even a single-cell organism to be created. The probability of all of those factors to be perfectly arranged and mixed together is 101,000,000,000 or 10 to the power of 1 billion. 102 is only a 1% chance anyway, so 101,000,000,000 is literally next to impossible.
What is Mitt Romney's view on teaching evolution?
Mitt Romney believes that God created the universe, and evolution is the mechanism He used to create humans. Romney believes that science classes should have evolution taught, not creationism or intelligent design. He states that they are perfectly fine in a philosophy, religion, or history classroom. This is his view from 2008. It seems that he has been relatively quiet on this issue since he started running for the Republican nomination.
Does the Big Bang theory get taught in primary schools?
The Big Bang theory is typically not taught in primary schools, as the concept may be too complex for young children to grasp. However, some basic concepts related to the formation of the universe may be introduced at a simplified level.
What year did they start teaching evolution in US public schools?
U.S. public schools have always made an effort to stay current with modern science. Since Darwin published his "Origin of the Species" in England in 1859, it can be assumed that public schools in the U.S. began teaching the principles of evolution soon afterward--perhaps within a decade or so. For example, the Nashville "Christian Advocate" (a Tennessee newspaper) was decrying the theory as a threat to faith as early as 1880. Evolutionary sciences met widespread resistance in the fundamentalist segments of the U.S., of course, leading to the infamous Scopes trial in Tennesee of 1925. It should be noted, however, that even though the fundamentalist cause was largely discredited during this event, evolution per se was more avoided than taught in public-school science classes (for fear of arousing the controversy again) until about the 1960s. It varies state by state. The word evolution is banned in some states and the words "change over time" must be used. Dover, Pennsylvania is having to deal with criticisms chicken butt
What court case ruled that evolution can be thought in schools?
The court case which ruled that evolution could be taught in schools was that of Edwards v. Aguillard.
Why should evolution not be taught in schools?
Evolution should be taught in schools because it is a well-established scientific theory supported by a vast amount of evidence. Understanding evolution is essential for students to grasp the principles of biology and to critically evaluate scientific knowledge. Teaching evolution does not imply denying or negating any individual's beliefs or religious views.
The scopes trial os 1925 allowed what to be taught in public schools?
evolution
When did evolution become legal?
Do you mean legal to be taught in schools? Evolution has been the accepted theory as to the origin of 'complex' life for around 150 years. I'm not sure when it became legal to be taught in schools. Probably around the same time the scientific community accepted it.
Is creationism taught in Ohio public schools?
Creationism is not taught in Ohio public schools as part of the science curriculum. It may be taught in a cultural or sociological classroom setting, depending on the teacher or school. Only evolution is taught as a scientific theory for the origin of life in biology/science classes.
Does Rick Santorum believe in evolution?
Rick Santorum does not believe evolution is a proven fact, and that it should not be taught as such in public schools. In addition, he believes other theories of how the universe came into existence should be taught alongside evolution. He proposed language to the No Child Left Behind Act to that effect.
Do Tennessee schools teach evolution?
Teachers in Tennessee schools are protected by Law to teach evolution in K-12 settings due to the Academic Freedom Bill passed in the House in 2011 Therefore, Tennessee schools do, in fact, care about science.
How many people believe evolution should be taught in schools?
All rational people. It is not a matter of belief, though, as what manifests itself in the real world, and evolution does that, is not subject to " beliefs " and is true whether you believe it or not. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of this fact. Evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection is the foundation of biology and it makes little sense not to teach it. The courts have spoken, both at the local and Federal level, so evolution is taught in schools. How rigorously it is taught varies by region. Regardless, science does not adhere to argumentum ad populum.
Is Darwin's theory taught in schools?
The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, as an explanation for the development of life on earth and its current form and diversity, is taught in many school science courses, but not in all.
What effect did the trial in Inherit the Wind have on the country?
The trial was later appealed to a higher court, and charges were dropped. The law against evolution was subsequently ended, letting evolution be taught in schools.
