I think Darwinian evolution has its problems, but creationism as a hypothesis doesn't have much use either. I wish that the poll had offered a few more options.

Personally, I wish evolution was downgraded to the status of hypothesis and that science admitted how little we really know. To admit ignorance is actually liberating. It gives the young mind the impression that there is still opportunity for them to have a career working toward exciting and important discoveries. As an educational policy, it is far preferable to standing upon authority.

Why? Evolution is one of the best supported theories we have.

Should we downgrade it from theory to hypothesis because a very narrow group of religious fundamentalists demand it? Or should we keep it as a theory because that is where scientists, who study the matter, have determined it should be.
