[QUOTE="MelanieBeth, post: 231841, member: 113981"] [b]Do teachers in the US say to children, â€œHuman beings used to be animals but evolved into intelligent beings.â€?[/b] Yes, there is separation between church and state, but this statement is not a religious statement. I am a teacher, and would never promote this as truth to my children. I have made a promise as a teacher to always tell my students the truth and to use the proper resources to seek the best answers. Although options are presented, the children are clear about what is true and what isn't. Because in so many schools the students aren't being taught the truth because it has been given religious status and therefore not considered science, it's no wonder our society is so screwed up.In science, humans ARE in the animal kingdom, but farther down the taxonomy there is more of a distinction. It is more likely that whenever two beings in the same species are combined, they produce a lesser intelligent creature, not a more intelligent one. Beings in two different genus cannot be "married" together, as their genetic makeup does not allow it. This is why people cannot produce offspring with rabbits, and why we don't have "dats","cogs", and flying elephants (except Dumbo). [/QUOTE]
