we want the school to teach my religious view to kids other than my own."

Bingo! We have a winnah, folks!

Bullcrap, I want the school to stop contradicting my kids or my religious beliefs with some theory (evolution) that can't proven with science or anything else. If the schools insist on this, then they should allow debate on another unproven theory. (creationism)

You said elsewhere that thhere is no conflict between the time scale of evolution and that of the Bible. So how else does evolution contradict your religious beliefs?

I'm sorry, but you either fail to understand the meaning of the word "theory" when used in a scientific context (hint: it does not connote "shaky" as in common parlance), or you are deliberately ignoring the distinction to cloud the issue.

Evolution is not some "unproven theory." It is a valid scientific theory that has been tested and tested and tested. It has been found as valid as any other scientific theory.

In contrast, and despite two hundred years of trying, anti-Darwinists haven't been able to come up with a single notion addressing the evidence that even begins to fulfil the criteria for "theory." Wonder why that is?

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?
