evolution vs. religion

The John T. Scopes trial was a turning point in American history, where the debate between science and religion was first made public. From this trial, I believe that schools should be taught evolution. I think that this theory, although still a theory, is very well known and has not been proven wrong yet. There is plenty of evidence supporting that evolution is a real possibility for how the human race was created. A skeleton named "Lucy" was found and has been linked to connecting primates and humans, as scientists believe that the species like Lucy was the first to walk upright on two feet. There have also been fossilized footprints found in the Permian Strata, preserved from the ash of a volcano. I think that teaching evolution is not as big of a problem as some of the other things that cause conflict today. If someone is religious enough, they can choose not to listen to lectures on evolution, and it won't affect them at all. Someone can choose not to make a big problem out of it, and just move on.
