But, if it does not, then the Creation theoy should certainly be taught!!!

What is the "creation theory"? What does it predict, how can it be tested and what hypothetical observation would falsify it?

First--evolution removes the need for God in that it is taught that evolution is non-directed (Origin of Species). I believe God's actions all have direction. So, one removes the need for the other--if true.

Now,lets examine some of the "theories" of macro-evolution that are taught in the public schools.

1. Stanley Miller Experiment--he did not realize the facts about amino acids. We now know that amino acids most likely could not have survived the atmospheric conditions of the time.
2. Tree of Life--Darwin's theory suggests that it takes great amounts of time for species to change. He writes "it would not act slowsly by accumulting slight, successive, favorable variationss and that no great or sudden modifications were possible." We now know that there was what is called the "Cambrian Period." This is a time where most animals simply "appear."
3. Ernst Haeckel's "Embryo drawings"--this theory--although proven to be a hoax--is still taught in some books.
4. Missing Links--Darwins concluded that the fossil record did not back up his book "Origin of Species." 150 years later, the fossil record seems to go against his theory more than it did then. Did you realize that there are actually labs in Malaysia that produce faked fossils--designed to "prove" evolution.

Anyways, I could get more into detail about these issues, but there are volumes of books on the subject. I would suggest reading Lee Strobel's "Case for a Creator" or other books you will find at Barnes and Noble.
