Its called the Bible. Superceeded Darwin by many thousands of years.

And the Iliad predates the Bible. Thus students should be taught Olympianism in addition to evolution and creationism.

The Torah predates the Illiad by 3 centurys! Nice try!

The Vedas predate them all (and there are extent copies of them that are older than the oldest extent copies of the Bible). I think we need to teach Hinduistic Creationism.

On the subject of learning/teaching different views.

Have you seen the Joseph Campbell interviews on PBS (years ago, because he's dead now) about Mythology ?

I found it excruciatingly boring, and at the same time, I was fascinated with his breadth of knowledge and how from the beginning of recored time Man has always looked for a meaning to life.

It is in our human nature to explore, be curious and seek out solutions to the human condition.

I found Joseph Campbell, when I was agnostic, I left as an atheist, I continued my journey and became a Christian.

There is not one thing in the scientific world that I am afraid to deal with.
