I'd prolly start by teaching them that there are massive, gaping, holes in the 'theory' of evolution that need to be addressed (though the last time this was actually taught as just a theory and not as de facto, err, fact is anyone's guess).

I find it amusing that we can't just say that we don't have any really good idea as to how life started. That would seem to me to be at least as true as any other theory of life's origin.

Funny, that was exactly what I was taught in high school. A few hypothesis were mentioned, but it was stressed that nothing had come to the level of theory regarding life origins. Also, evolution was taught as theory, not fact -- but then, I had a biology teacher who made sure that we understood exactly how science worked and thus we were aware that nothing in science becomes more "certain" than a theory.
