Science has not demonstrated that the universe and the life in it were not created.
I do not seek to equate Christianity with astrology.
When you keep putting them in the same sentence as you have been, you are. The Bible is the source of the creation account that Christians believe in. Jesus Himself referred to it and He would know if anyone would.
Scripture is very clear that when God created the various animals and man that He did not create them from each other. The different groups were created on different days in different acts of creation. When God says that He took the dust of the earth and formed man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being, there is simply no way that that can be interpreted as saying that God evolved man from some apelike ancestor.
Evolution has not disproved that man was created.
but merely to point out that there are certainly aspects of some religions' creation stories that stand in pretty direct opposition to what we can observe.
Then you're resting on the assumption that the interpretation of what you observe is accurate and true, and that's getting into the philosophical realm. It's also as likely as not, that the interpretation of what is observed is flawed. In the conflict between religion and science, the default option is that religion is wrong. But the possibility is more that likely that science is what's wrong.
Science and the interpretation of data is not infallible.
When scientists declare that religion is wrong because it conflicts with their conclusions, what happens when the scientists realize that their conclusions were wrong as the new data comes in? Usually, it's ooops, we were wrong, but you're still wrong too, even though we really don't know what's right.
Here we are at the crux of the matter: if science conflicts with your interpretation of scripture, it is not the responsibility of scientists or educators to change their work to conform to your religious beliefs. I have no doubt that your religious beliefs are sincerely and deeply held, but that does not give you the ability to dictate either that those religious beliefs should be taught to others, or that anything conflicting with those beliefs be kept out of public schools.
