Evolution won't be taught a lot of areas, until there is strong leadership advocating that it is possible, right now religious zealots picket on the platform of hositility with science, perhaps if there was leadership talking about how maybe the two can coexist, there would be steps moved to allow evolution in schools.
People dont believe in evolution because they always believe what they want to believe. Even the same Bible that you live in is not the same as it was the very day it came into being. It has been changed into what is more convenient for people.
this is one of the reasons why we face a lot of problems in the world. Instead of looking at what is actually there, we create our own believes that match with our desires. For example, no body said that hanging a cross with Jesus on your neck is going to protect u from evil but yet a lot believe it will.
Evolution denies the very first thing that is writing in the Bible. But it does not denies God.
