I can’t. But I understand that the literal interpretation of the Genesis account of creationism is taught in schools in the Islamic world.

I believe that's correct. There may be more examples that I'm not aware of, but I do know that before I take up the idea that teaching evolution instead of creation in science class is making us fall behind the rest of the world in science education, I want to see some evidence to back it up.

Show that teaching creation in addition to evolution would cause us to fall further behind.

We are already continuing our downward spiral with creation not being in the picture. If teaching the ToE is the answer to our science education woes, then why isn’t it working?
