With more people disputing the claims that evolution is more than theory, less children are taught in the schools that this is fact anymore....which is what I was taught. The teachers weren't stressing evolution as theory, but as a fact that all were to believe.

Actually, I'd say that the ubiquity of the internet is having the opposite effect on our collective knowledge base... we're getting more and more erroneous, misinterpreted, or just made-up information available at our fingertips. And the sheer volume of websites out there make it hard for any constructive editing or actual fact-checking possible in most cases. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry (or Tina, Debbie, or Helen... can't exclude the ladies!) can post whatever the hell he or she wants online. And if it sounds good enough to someone reading it, they'll probably believe it. Much like a lot of the "irrational ideas on evolution" that are being spread around. Read a science journal or textbook - they're actually reviewed and edited by other knowledgeable people in the field... not by some random person with a computer, an internet connection, and some opinion or unsubstantiated information to spread.
