You do know that nothing is ever proven in science, don't you? You also know that creationism is not a theory, right? Creationism cannot be tested, so it falls outside the realm of science. What's wrong with teaching science, ie. evolution, in science class and teaching creationism in some other class?

Nothing, I never said that it had to be taught in biology class. Although, I would also say that ape to man evolution should also not be taught in biology class. The evidence is too weak IMO. And yes, I have seen all the evidence.

That's the problem with any 'theory' of origins, isn't it? It's not testable, so it's not a theory (scientifically speaking), so it's not science? Perhaps, if we could find a way to get back around to the front end of this process, theories could be proposed and tested. Or, it may be that a 'theory' of origins will remain forever a hypothisis-in-waiting, destined never to be consummated.
