Georgia: Church wants evolution theory out of science classes

From the article:

VILLA RICA, Ga. —

A Carroll County church wants Georgia schools to stop teaching
evolution as fact.

Educators across the country are now developing what's called the
"next generation of science standards."

A member of the Villa Rica Church of Christ told Channel 2's Diana
Davis evolution should not be a part of those standards.

Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution is what almost all of us were
taught in science: Billions of years ago, we all evolved from a common
ancestor.

"It's bad science, and it's bad for the culture," according to Villa
Rica's Church of Christ's Bob Staples.

Staples and his church are fighting for schools to include another
view.

"What message are we sending to our children when they come away
saying, 'I'm an ape with less hair?'" asks the church pastor, Patrick
Gray.

Staples, who is a college math teacher, serves on a state committee
that is working to develop science standards for education.
