my mom is a middle school teacher who thinks the theory of evolution is a bunch of nonsense?

Do you think that you are being respectful of her by what you have posted here? I bet she would weep at your lack of respect for her. You strike me as a petulant little boy who wants others in your peer group to like you. The theory of evolution is a bunch of speculative nonsense. Do you know and understand how scientific method works, and why it is necessary to do it? What successful experiments have been carried out in the laboratory that conclusively prove that evolution does indeed happen?

You have been taught to believe in something that has no credible evidence to support it. It is a theory in which the process either moves along very quickly or else it moves at a snail's pace and can't even be observed. What happened to those in your class who chose to disagree with evolutionary theory? Did they get passing grades in science class? Did the teacher honestly weigh their points of disagreement to see if they were sound or not? Probably not, since teachers tend to not want to waste time on such things what with the time crunch placed upon them lesson planning-wise.

My advice to you is to stop running your adolescent mouth on this forum and any other internet social media sites. You will end up living a much happier life that way.

Oh, by the way, how do you know what your mom "literally" knows, or does not know about it? It does not sound like you bother to even engage her in discussion any more. Now, that is sad.
