What I don't get is that creationists don't want evolution taught in schools because as a theory it has too many holes in it. But they want it replaced with creationism, which isn't even a scientific theory!

What's wrong with teaching both? Send your kid to whichever class you want. Evolution is faith too.

One is science, the other isn't.

You don't need a class in "scientific ignorance." People come by it naturally. Evolution is faith too.

No it isn't. It's science, backed by mountains of evidence.

Both what? Why should they teach creationism?

Evolution is faith too.

If by "faith" you mean "we can't be 100% sure" then, I guess, yes. But I suppose you don't want relativity or the nature of the atom taught either. They are both theories.
