I have no problem of our schools talking about evolution as a theory, but they should also discus creation just as seriously.

Why should one religious group – Jewish, Christian, Muslim) be selected to be the basis of creation theory? How about Hindu or American Indian creation tenets?

Actually, those last two were discussed in my Social Studies classes back in the early 80's. Never heard much about the Christians or Jews though.

I didn't say any should be excluded, I was making the point that evolution is only a theory, but so many folks think it should not only be taught, but it should be taught as a rock-hard fact and that no other theory should be discussed in a classroom.

Why did you see the word "creation" in my post and assume i was specifying a specific religion? I would guess that the core of the problem is that it requires a God as the Creator and science cannot prove or disprove thi, so folks want to be the most advanced thing going - if they don't like it, it can't be true. The ironic thing is that they can't prove their pet theory either, but they don't stop pushing it...
