And again I say and noone replies, if you are going to teach one, then teach them all.

Then you really do support teaching that the Hopi and Moslem and Celtic versions of Creation are equally valid to that of the Jews and Babylonians?

I'm capable or setting my own side of the debate and my position. I don't need you to present it for me, taking it to some unreasonable extreme. This is a sophomoric - and fallacious - debating tactic. It would not score you points in a debate class and I am quite certain those on here are more than capable of seeing through it.

Back to our discussion, just what do you find so hard to understand? I am for fully presenting the issue on the origins of life. Now, if I can presume what your position is, you seem to be saying that only one view - the one you happen to agree with - is the only one that is legitimate and should be presented, this on the based on your belief that science only supports your view and none other. Is this correct?

And can I ask you, have you ever researched to see if any credentialed scientist disagrees with you, that based on their learning and study they have come to the conclusion life was created by a god?

That would be an interesting pursuit of additional knowledge on this subject, don't you think? Heck, we could modify our lesson plan to not only talk about evolution, creationism (Hopi, Moslem, Celtic), we could even draw into the debate those scientists that agree with one position or another.
