The Theory of Evolution

When I read in Ready, Set, Science that the Evolutionary Theory should be taught as a key concept of Science, I immediately thought, "What does that mean?". As a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, I believe that the Word of God is the Truth. I believe that God masterfully created a complex world, and scientists continue to uncover more amazing discoveries about this world. I believe He was very specific and yet general in His explanation of  Creation and I don't believe that scientific discoveries should always be seen as contradictory to the Bible. I am an adamant proponent of the existence of God because I have seen evidence of Him at work over and over in my own life (through inquiry based learning:), Heard Him guide me and seen affirmation of His guidance, and over and over experienced Him in my life. When the topic of Evolutionary theory comes up, I immediately question what that means. I am not ignorant to the concept of natural selection and adaptation of species. I don't believe this is necessarily contradictory to the Word unless we get into the discussion of humans evolving from Apes. I am convinced that Science proves there can be no "spontaneous generation" of life. Therefore, the idea that life just began from nothing in my opinion has been proved false. When teaching evolution, I believe you must teach it as one theory of many and not the only theory of how the world began.
