Why is teaching evolution important?

This is exactly what @jammycakes tried to tell you was happening. I have not sensed that this is the definition of the theory of evolution that anyone working in the field of biology who is commenting in this thread is using. And both you and @RichardG continue to argue against “THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION” as you are defining it, and everyone else is saying that your claims that the theory of evolution is all wrong are gratuitous, unscientific, and unsupportable, because they are not using the same definition for the theory of evolution.
For @Buzzard and @RichardG, I have a request: If you are making a statement that is objecting to exactly the claim that “all life on earth evolved from a common ancestor via known biological mechanisms” please specify that this is what you are objecting to. And if you are claiming that this is not true, specify exactly why you are claiming it is not true. If you are claiming that the truth is not determinable, that is very different from claiming that descent from a common ancestor is not true. And if you are claiming that something is not true scientifically, then please A) be very clear about what scientific conclusion you are objecting to; and B) show that there are flaws in the science.
