I'm not following you at all. The discussion, at least as I raised it, is that both should be taught. Heck, throw in the big bang theory if you want. But, teach about them. Don't say one or the other is correct. Just leave it up to the kids to decide.
The point being, why is one excluded over the other. As far as I am concerned, it is as much a stretch of faith to accept evolution as it is to accept creation. Call if science or whatever if you want. To me, though, it sounds like you are fooling yourself when you do. Evolution does not explain how the world got here.
It's a science class, not comparative religion.
I am sorry for not being clearer.
How about trying a scenario. :-)
You are a teacher and are teaching a science class about the boiling point of water. Now you know that it changes with pressure etc. However, someone asks you to teach an alternative belief that the water really boils at different pressures due to divine intervention instead of basic physics. Would you be so inclined to do so?
This is how throwing creation in with a science course on evolution and biology comes across.
BTW, if we are going to teach creation beliefs, which one takes the highest priority? How muddled do we make the curriculum taught in this classroom anyhow?
