There could be with evolution, but I am not really sure what you would teach. The theory of evolution is a process that works complete on it's own, I haven't heard how God fits into it, beside a role that has him controlling it. I am not sure how that lecture would go, "Evolution is a natural process, but it's guided by God."? It just seems easy to remove a God from such a scenario in my mind.

You see thats the problem. You think evolution should just remove God from the equation...others think God removes evolution from the equation. You're both wrong.
Might be easy for YOU to remove God, because you don't want to believe he exists in the first place, but for those of us that do....many of us feel compelled to believe that God may have used evolution to create us and the world around us.
Of course, one you try to kick out religion in the name of science, or science in the name of religion, you have a problem.

My guess is people are comparing when people thought the earth was flat back in the day (when evidenced had presented itself), to the people of today who think the earth is a young earth (10 000 years or less). People in both times were being ignorant toward evidence and instead relying on a faith or what have you.

No, people here still believe that there are idiots out there that think the earth is flat, and they keep trying to bring it up in order to prove their point.
