To a Christian, there is One truth and it is not open to doubt.

To an evolutionist there is one truth and it is not open to doubt. The most closed minded people in the world are evolutionists who refuse to allow competing theories to even be discussed in the classroom.

"The most closed minded people in the world are evolutionists who refuse to allow competing theories to even be discussed in the classroom."

On the contrary, all it takes is one really good, reproducible experiment to blow a theory out of the water. One that I can test over and over and get the same result, one that others can test over and over and get the same result.

So, I AM NOT asking for a mountain of evidence that evolution is bogus. Give me ONE experiment and a detailed description of all the steps I need to do to reproduce it. If I come up with the same result that unequivocally. shows that evolution is bogus I will denounce it. If it also shows that God did it all, I will run down and get baptized this afternoon.

All the other reasons for teaching evolution in school take a back seat to this one very simple one.

Evolution is science and science is what we teach in a science curriculum.
If you want to include a mandatory comparative religion class where our children could ponder such questions as the origin of morals and the nature of G(g)od(s). I would back you 100%. These are question that everyone should ponder and so few do.

Here is a list of religions you can start with ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religions ) . When your done compiling a curriculum, I will be happy to double check it for accuracy.

You are quite wrong. All scientists are willing to examine other theories, as long as the theories meet all the scientific criteria of a theory. In other words, as long as the theories are actually theories and not hypotheses and or conjectures. If you can bring forth a theory of creationism, or a theory of ID, I would be happy to not only look at it but pass it on with recommendations to a number of very bright evolutionary scientists.

I just ask that your theory actually be a scientific theory.
