It Is Unconstitutional For Our Public Schools To Teach Atheistic Evolution As Unquestioned Truth, Because This Establishes Atheism As Our State Religion, Not Religious Neutrality.

By Teaching Evolution As Unquestioned Truth, We Officially Deny That God Created Humans; And Thus We Establish Atheism, In Effect, As Our State Religion.
By denying God, we establish no-God, which is Atheism, in violation of the Constitution.
The Theory Of Evolution is, itself, a very powerful religious statement: namely, that God did not create human beings. And if God did not create human beings, then He could not possibly have created the Universe, because human beings are a part of the Universe. Then it becomes very easy to believe that He probably didn't do anything else of importance, and that He probably doesn't even really exist. This is pure Atheism! If we are not created by God, then there might as well be no God, for all the difference He makes.
So, by teaching the theory of evolution as unquestioned truth, we officially deny that God created humans; and thus we establish Atheism, in effect, as our State Religion, in violation of our Constitution.
Amendment I - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Source: U. S. Constitution
It doesn't really matter if evolution is true or not, as far as the Constitution is concerned. If we teach it as unquestioned truth, we are minimizing the importance of God and thereby promoting Atheism.
If the Constitution prohibits us from teaching that God did create humans, then it certainly must prohibit us from teaching that God did not create humans. If religious neutrality is required, then we must not teach evolution as unquestioned truth. If we do teach evolution as unquestioned truth, we are effectively establishing Atheism as our state religion, in violation of the First Amendment.
A United States Federal Court of Appeals has now ruled ruled that Atheism is, indeed, a religion, under U.S. law. See http://www.google.com/search?&q=atheism+religion+court+rule&btnG=Search for details.
So it is a very small step indeed from teaching evolution as unquestioned truth, to establishing Atheism as our official State Religion. If we present Intelligent Design as a possible alternative to Atheistic Evolution, we avoid this Constitutional problem.
Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.
