Evolution as a theory is not what is at stake here. It is the introduction of a religion in a science class that is the problem...

How do we researchers begin to discuss basic chemistry that can be easily tested by various machines with predictability and repetition and then introduce a God that ordained that process to occur and why should we change it???

Same goes for physics and astronomy... It is NOT because we scientists added our own perception of what we imagine what happened, because if you are a "real scientist" there would be no shame to your game... It is because we have tested and re-tested it and this is what the results are and other folks have repeated the same tests and get the same results...

I mean, dayum, protons, electrons and neutrons are in atoms... These things can be measured and are readily...
I understand what you're saying, too. I suppose I'm saying what I was taught in school - here are ALL the theories, take your pick. I would challenge these boneheaded children to consider, if they want to believe in God or Toast Worship, who or what created those atoms, protons, neutrons, etc, and why He or It gave us the ability to think, to use wisdom to change the wrongs of the world.

Can God be measured by human hands?
Of course not! That's what makes Him God, and we His creations!
