I would go further: No one has ever demonstrated the spontaneous generation of a living organism. Thats a good summary of why you should not be teaching science. You fail to understand the difference between evolution and abiogenesis. Evolution is about the FACT that all life we know today, seems to have descended from a few or possibly a single common ancestor. Essentially the very wording Darwin stated 150+ years ago, long before we had much evidence for this. The evidence for this is now overwhelming, unless you are willing to accept that the whole thing was "designed" by something to look that way just to fool us. You are correct in that one narrow sense, we can't "prove" that it was not designed just to fool us, anymore than we can "prove" that the whole universe didn't just pop into existence one second ago, all designed to look like its 14.5By old. Of course science is not interested in proving anything, its interested in establishing credible knowledge that we use as facts. Something any science teacher aught to know as well.

I see we have a fan of the late Bishop Ussher. . en.wikipedia.org His biblical "analysis" doesn't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny. His conclusions were entirely an invention of his own fertile imagination and wild conjectures. Yet many churchy types, usually of the Baptist variety, have latched onto his theories as firmly as the Catholic church of the Middle Ages wedded their theology to the fanciful non-scientific theories of the Greek philosopher Aristotle. A very sorry affair from beginning to end. .
