tl;dr
Religion kills science
The theory of human shares the same ancestor as ape could be true as there are some facts but not 100% truth. (darwin theory)
The idea of Adam & Hawa were the first man created by gods has no fact but we cannot say it is 100% untrue.
So let's just have an open mind and discuss properly. keep this thread clean of war ok.
Anyway, religion shouldnt really be here.... coz religion kills science... this is a science lab and ppl discussing here most likely have more logical & rational sense than unproven theories.

judging from the replies here, i think evolution should be taught in schools to clear misconceptions and baseless accusations against the evolutionary theory.
but then again, it would meet so much resistance from certain parties that would make its implementation near impossible. and here they're still haggling over the use of english in science and maths.
is the theory of evolution being taught in any form in our schools or universities at present? during my time, it was hardly mentioned except when learning about classification of organisms during pre-u.
do you think evolution should be incorporated into our syllabus? Please give your thoughts in a civil manner. Thank you
don't think so lah... u have said it in ur first few sentence... it's impossible esp with facts that opposes the belief of <insert religion here>
Anyway i dont remember much learning evolution from school... Since young My dad bought encyclopedia and MS encarta... I spent almost 7-8 hours on it everyday after back from primary school then secondary school .. but getting lesser coz of computer games.. So to the parents out there, get some extra-reading materials for kid.. no nit rely on current study syllabus... all for exam purposes saja..
