--If I say that creationism is based in fact, and then say that evolution has no evidence to back it up.

Then I should get an F, because I obviously do not understand science, nor it's basic concepts.--

I most definitely agree. After all, creationism is based on faith. Christianity REQUIRES faith, which is one reason there is any debate at all. There is evidence for evolution. There is evidence that G.W. Bush sleeps around, but not enough to convict.

--Therefore, I would not deserve a letter. as a matter of fact, I would not deserve to pass the course.--

Your whole post misses the point. The teacher asked them to have the "right opinion" based on interpretation of facts, not the facts themselves. If he had said, "What are the POSSIBLE forms of evolution you think could be supported by the fossil evidence and why?" or some such, it would have been different. He was asking them what they think, not what they think are plausible theories. That's the rub. One can be a creationist Christian and still understand all the facts and evidences used to support the theory of evolution and still think it is wrong without being intellectually bankrupt.

You can understand all the implications and results of rust on a car without having to believe the rust created the car.

Your logic is a sight to behold.

But then again, faith as logic is indeed a thing to behold.

If my Doctor is a christian, and tells me that evolution is not a valid scientific theory, and that evolutionary biology is NOT something he believes in, then I will find a new doctor, because the man is a quack, and I sure as heck do not want him digin around in my innards, BUT, if my doctor is a christian, and tells me that he indeed thinks that Biological evolution is a valid theory, and is used extensively in the research of medicine, then I will stay with that Doctor forever. Because he understands science and evolution and it's greater usage.

This Doctor has EVERY right to refuse to write a letter for ANY student that claims that Evolution is not a valid scientific theory, because of it's great use in the medical industry, any Student that claims that evolution is not a valid theory would be a quack and would not get ANY sort of recommendation from me, that is for sure.
