I'm not following you at all.

I am sorry for not being clearer.

How about trying a scenario. :-)

You are a teacher and are teaching a science class about the boiling point of water. Now you know that it changes with pressure etc. However, someone asks you to teach an alternative belief that the water really boils at different pressures due to divine intervention instead of basic physics. Would you be so inclined to do so?

This is how throwing creation in with a science course on evolution and biology comes across.

BTW, if we are going to teach creation beliefs, which one takes the highest priority? How muddled do we make the curriculum taught in this classroom anyhow?

How muddled do we make the curriculum ...

The only fair way is to give half the class time to science, and for the other half, the teacher sits there and shouts: "Hallelujah! It's a miracle!" over and over until the bell rings and the class ends.
