    Conversely, teachers of evolution so often teach it as proof that there is
    no God and the Bible is a pack of lies.

    Perhaps a definition of "evolution" is in order.

    The book was, after all, "Origin of the Species" not the families, genera,
    etc.

    words in Mt.18:6 are germane here. Such teachers have to be opposed
    actively - & of course honestly - & if they're "offended," tough.
