I also bemoan the state of science education in the US. Students are not being given all the relevant data, and taught how to evaluate different ideas. Why waste time teaching evolution to people who will be programming computers? It is totally irrelevant in all fields of technology, and chemistry. Teach them true science for the field they are studying. It is only by having both the true creationist scientific data to compare with the evolutionist claims that they will learn how to be truly scientific in their thinking. Fobbing them off with the false evolutionist claims as to what the creationist scientists are discovering, and true science, will leave them crippled in their thinking, as they will be afraid to research anything that may be tainted as being socially unacceptable.

You have been taught to look at the creationist view as being a narrowminded religion, but there are two separate aspects to it, the creation science aspect of it is good science. The religious side is the reason that there is a debate, as knowing that God did create means that there must be scientific evidence to show that He did, and that it is by far the most reasonable explanation for how we came to exist, also it shows that there is a purpose in life, and eternity. You will never see or understand it as you have been brainwashed to view everything strictly in the evolution belief paradigm. It's not until you escape from that, and look scientifically at the evidence, that you will realise that evolution has a lot of unsubstantiated hype that is seriously misleading.

As for the "unprecedented ethical dilemmas", since the evolutionary view, which is the same amoral view as humanism, has been taught and pushed on the public for many years, you are now reaping the problems, as many, if not most of the public are now amoral, so there is no reason not to steal, rob, or beat people up, or murder. School murders will increase as there is no moral standard inherent in evolution. It just slides lower and lower, as everybody claims their "rights" without regard to the rights and well-being of others, or as to what is the best basis for the community. Prisons have become a "revolving door" for those who have no proper moral standards. Babies are aborted, now even at the time of birth their brains are removed. Many people want to adopt babies but can't get them. All the children know this by the time they are in high school, so what does that teach them about the real-life value of people? Obviously society doesn't value you! You are just pond-scum, so why not try drugs, why not kill someone who annoys you, even your classmates, if you have been belittled in their sight? Why not steal, why not murder, if you can get away with it in this life? Evolution has no moral values!

Schoolgirls can be taken to have an abortion without their parents' knowledge, which can have a catastrophic effect on their life and behaviour, because of stress over what they have done, keeping a secret from their parents, or because of permanent reproductive damage. But the law expects parents to teach children proper behaviour and keep them under control, without knowing what dreadful things are gnawing at the child's emotions. This is "political correctness" taken to a stupid extent where doctors and hospitals often won't tell parents what is wrong with their child, and probably don't tell the child either. This leaves the parents "flying blind" as they try to guide their children.

The Judeo-Christian belief has very strong morals, which make for a good safe society, that is why it is under attack. Evolution has taught people that there are no morals. It has taught situational ethics, so then they hope to destroy Gods standards so they will feel free to do many things that are not good for them or society, and their conscience doesn't bother them as they are only evolved pond-scum, for so they have been taught. But the prevalence of evidence of God's standards makes their consciences twinge, so they go on the warpath to remove all references to God and good moral standards, by legal means and by teaching evolution and humanism, both of them religions, that are taught in school.
