You're creation theory seems too weak to be taught in the public schools.
I guess you've got a point. It's far more believable that some entity whipped up the universe, the sun, the planet and life on the planet over a period of six days (even though it should have been powerful enough to do it all at once given the definition of the entity in question), that it created everything in some undefined 'perfect' state, that it created two humans and put a tree right within their grasp that, for some reason, it didn't want them touching (why put it there, then?). And, of course, it gave the entire universe the appearance of billions of years of age even though it was brand new at the time.

that it created two humans and put a tree right within their grasp that, for some reason, it didn't want them touching (why put it there, then?). This has always seemed pretty peculiar to me, also, especially since the entity (being omniscient) certainly knew what would happen -- first the eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and then the creation of the first fig leaf fashions.
Note that clothing made of skins were later furnished by the entity, which must mean that PETA is at odds with the entity.
