"It shouldn't because science doesn't deal with "truth." It should be taught as the current state of scientific knowledge on the subject, as all science should be. One day maybe another scientific theory will come along and supplant evolution, but until then evolution is what should be taught in science courses."

Uh, sorry. In order for a theory to be 'scientific' it must be completely naturalistic because science is based on the philosophy of naturalism.

The only thing that could supplant evolution is panspermia directed by intelligent aliens that somehow 'evolved' elsewhere unobserved. This only begs the question further than science does now.

Instead of calling them 'science' classes, they should be called 'philosophical naturalism' classes. At least that would be accurate.

Teacher: Okay Johnnie, can you tell me why you can light the end of that tube on fire when it comes from above the electrodes in the water?

Johnnie: God makes fire!

We need a separation.
