I just gave you the definition as it is taught, and its the only way it is taught.
and thank God for that, imo. Try and teach people lies, and the truth only becomes more apparent. The theory is plainly stated as theory, and children are not stupid i guess.
"We do not know" is what is taught to your kids at school, and this is excellent practical knowledge imo, because even a believer does not know how God made the dust of the earth. Even school leaves the connection of elements to life undetermined, and they do not teach what you are inferring here as fact by any means wadr.
They might try, but the central question is left open, and the central question is all that matters there i guess.
When a kid asks "how do i make a living cell?" and they get "we cannot do this" then the truth is revealed plainly enough, imo
every kid ever asks if the "Frankenstein" scenario would work, see, and they all get the same answer; "no."
"how do you know?"
"because we tried it."
etc
also, there are exceptions to the standard teaching model of evolution in America, even if Creationism is widely suppressed, i mean i'm not meaning to argue that it isn't. So then why send your kid to school?
only slightly less evil than sending your kids to a building you deem "church" with a dime for the education, imo
see, we all seek oracles, and not knowing is not an option, right?
we all gotta
know, lol
