Teaching Evolution

Matthew Jones, member of our youth group, writes:

Hi all! just wanted to start up a discussion and i've been meaning to do this for a while now...

During the GCSE biology course, evolution is taught as fact rather than opinion. Do you think this is the right thing to do?

When we studied it, I felt that it was not giving the children any freedom on the matter, it was more like "this is the world, this is how we got here and that's it"

So the question I want to put up for discussion is this: Should evolution be taught as fact in schools?In my own opinion, I do not think so. I believe it should be taught, as everyone has a right to say what they wish, but not taught as fact.
