The origins of man have not been proven. Until they are done so, there

That's fine, just don't present it in a science class because there is
no science to it.
Facts about a scientific theory should be presented. It is a fact that
several billion people believe there was some form of Higher Power
influence in the development of man.
That fact should be presented, along with the other facts.
Furthermore, *only* the facts should be presented. If conjectures,
such as those made here about man's development of intelligence, are
presented as a 'fact' of evolution, then the alternative should also
be presented.

All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking.
Hold on there... I think you're missing the definition of a theory. A
scientific theory is, basically, a guess based on observable facts, not just
a guess. Evolution is an observable fact. The theory part involves the
intricacies but not the fact of it. There's no viable alternative. There's
no "theory" of creationism. There's the faith of creationism, however.
