We taught our kids that God created.
Which God?
Evolution is the popular position
You haven't looked at recent polls, have you? An appalling 40% of Americans believe Creationism:
40% of Americans Believe in Creationism
creationism isn't just for Christians BTW
So how can you be so certain that your version of Creation is the correct one? How do you know that you're not teaching your kids -- and these kids in Arkansas -- to believe in the wrong version of Creation or the wrong god?
And reject the wonder of the natural world? That's what evolution theory does!
Absolutely! To say that some supreme being "zapped" a butterfly into existence completely robs from us the wonder of how it came to be.
It makes it all pointless, just an unending line of causation by nothing for no reason.
That's because you're too indoctrinated to think outside the box that your doctrine has trapped you into.
And makes us just animals.
We are, by definition, "animal", if you understand the definition of "animal" which I bet you don't:

The default position of American culture is evolution.
Since when is evolution a culture? You don't understand what THAT is either.
Child abuse is teaching kids that nothing matters because they are just apes and the universe is just the result of blind chance.
Evolution doesn't teach kids that "nothing matters". It is not supposed to teach morals or any friggin' thing else other than an explanation of the diversity of species; it isn't supposed to teach morality or philosophy or anything else of that nature,
no more than arithmetic is supposed to teach anything other than how numbers work (and doesn't)
no more than english grammar is supposed to teach anything else other than how the english language works (and doesn't),
any more than history is supposed to teach anything else other than what happened in the past of our world and society (and doesn't).
And they have understood that quite well, as indicated by suicide and depression and hopelessness that is epidemic among the young.
So teenaged suicide is blamed on evolution!?
I'm speechless.
