Ok, which theory of creationism should they teach?

There is a lot of evidence for a generic creation theory to be stated, whether it's in reference to the Big Bang, Cambrian Explosion, or other sudden appearances of biological forms in the fossil record. Admitting that there could have been creation events at several points in history where the science is fuzzy or counter-intuitive is not a threat to science.

And that is, essentially, all that I suggested in my original post. Who says that creationism and evolution don't meet somewhere down the road? Why can't BOTH concepts be correct? Who was it that decreed that every few hundred years God has to return to his drawing board and redesign a few species here and there to keep up with changes in the environment? Why can't we believe that God originally created all living things and is clever enough to turn to evolution as a way to maintain various species and allow them to continue to survive in changing environments?

The impression I get is that everything has to be one OR the other, but both can't be correct. Why?
