I found something that was well done but I disagree with some of it.

"The Nobel Prize winning scientist Linus Pauling aptly described science as the search for truth. Science does this by continuously comparing its theories objectively with evidence in the natural world. When theories no longer conform to the evidence, they are modified or rejected in favor of new theories that do conform. In other words, science constantly tries to prove its assumptions to be false and rejects implausible explanations. In this way, scientific knowledge and understanding grow over time. Religious explanations for the order of things are not science because they are based primarily on faith and do not subject themselves to be objectively falsified. Because of this fundamental difference in the approach to understanding our natural world, the U.S. Supreme Court in effect decided in 1987 that the Biblically based "creation science" is not a science and cannot be taught as such in public schools as an alternative or in addition to the mainstream evolutionary theory of the biological sciences. However, religious creation stories and the idea of "intelligent design" can be taught in philosophy, religion, or history courses. Religion and Science provide different approaches to knowledge. It is important to understand both."

"However, religious creation stories and the idea of 'intelligent design' can be taught in philosophy, religion, or history courses." 

Why waste time talking about moronic fantasies like "magical intelligent design"? It's bullshit. Throw it out.

"Religion and Science provide different approaches to knowledge. It is important to understand both."

The words "religion" and "knowledge" do not belong in the same sentence. Religions are 100% pure bullshit. They get in the way of knowledge. Religions contribute nothing to human progress.

It's important to understand the idiotic fantasies of religion? That's totally wrong. Just throw the bullshit out and be done with it.

One reason why religions have not yet been completely eradicated is because people who should know better suck up to it. It's wrong to suck up to stupidity.

After the September 11, 2001 atrocities the time for being nice is over with. Primitive religious bullshit must be attacked and destroyed. Religious people need to be ridiculed relentlessly. Young people need to understand their brainwashers are insane and they need to be locked up.

The rest of it is good. It explains lots of evidences for evolution. It's at https://www2.palomar.edu/anthro/evolve/evolve_3.htm
