I had no idea there was a singular "Creator". If the Intellegent Design Theory gains any traction, they'll soon have to figure out if the fish designer was different from the bacteria designer and the virus designer...... Which one did Zeus design???

I'm a bit alarmed to see you still believe in Zeus. At any rate, those things are all open to question, as they should be. Why shouldn't theories of evolution be open to question as well? After all, they're only theories.

Evolution, like all scientific theories, are always being questioned. Don't you think that any scientist would love to be the one that disproved a major theory like relativity or evolution. Scientists are questioning and testing the theory of evolution every day.

Creationists, however, don't want to play by scientific method rules. Rather than designing and executing experiments to disprove the theory, they cite bible verses and argue from incredulity.

I am too, I'll have to pray to Odin and Thor tonight for guidance. (just kidding)

"Why shouldn't theories of evolution be open to question as well? After all, they're only theories."

Any theory within the scope of reason should be given a chance at scientific peer review. That being said, not all of these things should be taught in schools. Teaching a theory with supporting evidence in schools while cautioning that it's just the best theory we have (as opposed to "The Truth") seems to be a better solution, to me, than teaching things which have no evidence, cannot be proven or disproven, and involve metaphysics. Let's leave that to the religion classes of private schools, which are far better equiped to deal with the questions that arise than are science teachers.
