I'll bite.
1. No, it is not. It is inconsistent with every other theory in science, and the premises are not scientific.
It's not even wrong.
2. Yes, it is. It is the simplest explanation for observed phenomena, and can predict outcomes.
3. Theory. Facts are measurements, an explanation for measurements cannot be a fact (in science). At the very best it could become a law.
4. Religious. It is a way of coping with a paradigm-shift that is incompatible with your current worldview.
5. Yes, it is an important theory with many real-world implications.
6. Yes, it could, in religion-class, although creationism is more widely accepted in religion. Evolution should be taught in history and biology class and has no place in religion-class.
7. No. One is science, the other religion, they have nothing in common.
8. Yes. Although "believing" in evolution is very unscientific, there is no way to scientifically prove that there is no divine influence in evolution, and no way to scientifically prove that there is. Therefore God may exist, he/she/it may have created the universe ten seconds ago with everything in it, and the theory of evolution would still be valid.
(I know "religion-class" is more commonly called "bible-class", but I received and advocate a broader religious education beyond that one book)
