So you think science should teach your theological beliefs?
Yes, science should include the history of the Creation theory, along with their other stuff, like evolution is a theory. It gives students a chance to choose what they want to believe in. You must have just got on TOL here.

Michael, I personally accept when science is correct because it works, is repeatable and because the evidence based conclusions are rational and reasonably more convincing than not.
The theory of evolution is taught in science classes because there is testable physical evidence to support it, not because Darwin wrote a book, but because there is evidence to be demonstrated, based entirely on the laws of physics.
The theory of evolution is a formal scientific theory that could be falsified by evidence if it conflicted with it. It is an explanation of that evidence which for over 150 years best describes all of it.
The "theory of creation" otoh is an informal theory because it doesn't stand or fall by physical testable evidence, it exists only because that is what some unverifiable ancient words say.
There simply is no place in science classes for something that has no regard for physical evidence, which by definition does not have any practical science to be put to the test and validated by students, that cannot be experimented on, that simply requires a belief alone, that is often a quite different belief in other parts of the world.
Nobody is saying that religions cannot be taught, just that religious belief is not science and does not belong in science classes. :nono:
