Not a religion.
Nothing wrong with teaching theories.

does evolution really explain everything?......what does it tell us about the moon's orbit........what does it tell us about global warming?........what does it tell us about physics?.....

The OP mocked them for teaching dinosaurs and man lived alongside each other. Dinosaurs and man still live alongside each other. OP therefore knows nothing of science. It doesn't take Father Brown to figure out who cut the OP's throat. They did it themselves.

You were subjected to public education, weren’t you lol.
Science isn’t equipped to answer some questions. Your teachers should have told you that.
What a ‘person’ is or when personhood begins is a philosophical question.

Meh, why does it matter if some people think dinosaurs lived with humans lol?
We should be concerned more about practical science, math and teaching literature. If private schools are doing that well, they should be left alone.
Excerpt:
"Students who have learned science in this kind of environment are not prepared for college experiences," said Cynthia Bayer, a biology lecturer at the University of Central Florida who reviewed the science books. "They would be intellectually disadvantaged."
The social studies books downplay the horrors of slavery and the mistreatment of Native Americans, they said. One book, in its brief section on the civil rights movement, said that "most black and white southerners had long lived together in harmony" and that "power-hungry individuals stirred up the people."
The books are rife with religious and political opinions on topics such as abortion, gay rights and the Endangered Species Act, which one labels a "radical social agenda." They disparage religions other than Protestant Christianity and cultures other than those descended from white Europeans. Experts said that was particularly worrisome given that about 60 percent of scholarship students are black or Hispanic.
Books from all three publishers - Abeka, BJU Press and Accelerated Christian Education, or ACE - also offer easier academics compared with what Florida requires in its public schools, said the experts from UCF, the University of Florida, Rollins College and the Seminole and Volusia county school districts.
The Florida Department of Education does not track the curriculum used by the 140,000 students who attend private schools on state vouchers. In fact, Florida law prohibits the department from asking about or regulating academics at these schools.
The Sentinel surveyed the 151 private schools newly approved by the education department to take scholarships for the 2017-18 school year. Seventy-five of the schools provided information about their curriculum either on their websites or when contacted by phone, and 30 of those, or about 40 percent, reported Abeka, BJU or ACE was a part of their academic offerings.
Birds are not dinosaurs; they are the *descendants* of dinosaurs. By the same token, human beings are not the very small mammalian rat-like creatures that existed in the pre-Cenozoic era. Despite the desperate attempts of the Young Earthers to convince ppl otherwise, modern H. sapiens did not exist at the same time as the Jurassic Park-type animals.
"A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.
"The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 65 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.
"One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes." ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution )
Those guys and you are of course free to believe whatever nonsense floats their Noah's Ark. The reality is far more fascinating.

Birds are considered living dinosaurs

I don't disagree. Isn't like a single person's life is affected.

What does evolution have to do with the moon's orbit?

"In the view of most paleontologists today, birds are living dinosaurs. In other words, the traits that we accept as defining birds -- key skeletal features as well as behaviors including nesting and brooding -- actually arose first in some dinosaurs. " https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/fighting-dinos/birds-living-dinosaurs/
Paleontology is still considered a science isn't it?
Even so, they are not the ones the Young Earthers are referring to when they try to call their beliefs factual.
My husband's bird, btw, agrees with you 100%. lol
Of course it appears that birds evolved from dinosaurs.. and they probably did, but they weren't T Rex.. What is this conversation about? In the early 1970s a lot of these Christian schools popped up in the South .. and they are a very poor education.. Don't even meet minimum standards for accreditation.

teaching mythology to children as fact retards their minds, children need to be science literate to compete in this world, unless you would prefer them to be like children in Afghanistan under the taliban
