I am merely following your argument to its logical conclusion. You decline to differentiate between theories supported by evidence, and theories not supported by evidence, preferring instead to shove creationism and evolution under the single heading of "theories", and then saying "let's just teach 'em all". Of course, that same argument sounds pretty stupid when applied to other areas, doesn't it? But suddenly it's magically persuasive when the theory in question is evolution?

Well, have it your way, but I really don't think you're going to like the consequences...

No you're not. You're introducing your own arguments and making your own conclusions. My argument is that both evolutionism and creationism remain theories and are stated as such by those who adhere to each one. It is absurd to suggest that I thereby advocate the teaching and acceptance of every Tom-Dick-Harry theory out there, but that is some kind of "logical conclusion" you've chosen to advance on my behalf.

Dang. You make a good evolutionist!
