Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution should not be taught in public schools because, although it is openly displayed as a theory, evolution continues to impact and bias students’ opinions and outlooks on modern science.

Detailed explanation-2: -Creationists argue against evolution on the grounds that it cannot explain certain non-evolutionary processes, such as abiogenesis, the Big Bang, or the meaning of life.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three limitations of Darwin’s theory concern the origin of DNA, the irreducible complexity of the cell, and the paucity of transitional species. Because of these limitations, the author predicts a paradigm shift away from evolution to an alternative explanation.
