Evolution and creation are both theories...

Note that "creation" is not a theory. It makes no predictions and is not falsifiable. No amount of evidence can contradict that Zeus created the World this morning at 0900 Zulu. For this reason, Creationism is not science and should not be taught as if it were. (Other than to point out that Creationism doesn't rise to the level of an hypothesis, much less a theory.)

[Creationism] makes no predictions and is not falsifiable.

I'd be interested to learn, based upon evolution theory's knowledge of the past, what predictions they have regarding the future stages of development for homo erectus. How should we look a million years from now? What tests are we preparing and how are we observing and interpreting the data? Are such tests falsifiable? Who will be here to observe and verify those predictions a million years from now? Surely if we can extrapolate back into history "millions" of years" we ought to be able to test and predict the next million or so.
