I think that's exactly how it's taught now. As THE theory. And were talking about
how forms evolve, not
if they evolve. I think everyone agrees that evolution occurs. I don't know how it's being taught. I think those proponants (think Ben Stein) of ID like to say that the idea of how forms evolve is being shoved down kids throat, but I don't think that's the case. If there are alternative theories (and I'm talking about ideas that are advanced to a scientific theory) then by all means teach them. But there are no other explanations that can stand up to the scrutiny that the theory of evolution has withstood. If there are, enlighten me.
