Then your public skooled kid would get blown away. Unless the “science” test was exclusively about evolution theology.

A science test though encompasses much more than that.

If teaching only creation was such a detriment to science education, please elucidate on how so much progress was made in science in the hundreds of years before Darwin published his book, and before creation was shoved out of the public school system through litigation.
