You conflate science with philosophy.
I am open to many ideas and am sure we have a loving Father in God who sent His Son to die for our sins.
That has nothing to do with the Universe God gave us that operates on consistent rules which He gave us intelligence to fathom.
You are so sure that evolution is a scientific fact, but it has never been proven. What has been proven is that mutations occur to deal with environmental changes or from cross-breeding. There is absolutely no species you can point to and say definitively that species evolved from xyz species. It may share a high percentage with xyz species but differences remain. So was it mutation or cross-breeding that created the new species? Impossible to prove that it was evolution.
Thus you are the guilty party of conflating science with philosophy.
That being said I disagree with the whole notion that creationism should not be taught in our schools because "science" has deemed it to be untrue since "science" is incapable of proving or disproving creationism.
I stand by my assessment that you have closed your mind to learning because “science” has told you to do so.
