Actually my degree is in Forestry. I have had many biology classes. And I have done extensive research on the subject, outside of class.

Leading scientists on the subject of Darwinism suggest that evolution is "non-directed." We have learned from the Bible that God's actions always have diretion.

There are plenty more examples of this, but if evolution says nothing of "creation." Then why should creation not be taught in the schools?

Nobody is saying that creation shouldn't be taught in schools, just that it should be taught in religous education classes, not science classes.

Leading scientists may be a bit misleading on the subject. I don't believe the question of whether there is direction or purpose in evolution is a proper question for science. A hypothesis that there is (or isn't) direction in evolution is unfalsifiable. I think that this is just scientists giving their own opinions. Actually, directionlessness is no more an inherent part of evolution than is atheism. As far as teaching creationism in science, it still isn't science because it's unfalsifiable. I do not say that it shouldn't be taught in schools, just not as a part of a science class. (Perhaps some type of comparitive religion class would be an appropriate venue)

Would you have the same belief if you were born in China? Or perhaps in an African tribe?

Be honest now.

Assuming your answer is "no", then how come you were so lucky to have been born in a place where the "truth" was taught, while those other people are wrong?
