Politics in our schools

Well if you want science to be the antythesis of faith then shouldn't we teach kids the the science of carbon dating and half life and every other scientifice device used to determine anything. Evolution is based off of deduction and it is a pretty frivilous theory, because it says that something evolved because it exists today. So a koala bear or whatever went through a set of changes due to enviromental changes? well we can't be sure of that. So it changed in to what it did today because of competitive reasons? maybe. Can it be determined which one of the millions of variables caused the Koala to look like it does today? can't say for certain, but we're sure it was something evolutionary.

A 6th graders is taking just as much faith in believing all aspects of evolution as they are studying Creationism. The teachings of the different evolutionary states of man are taught with the same logical standing that the bible is taught. We take just as much faith that Evolution happens as god winds the clock of the universe.

Now this is where I turn around and defend myself by emphasizing the word taught. I myself really don't have any concerns about where we came from or where we're going, I am religious enough to believe that the truth lies somewhere in between Creationism and Evolution, but I don't feel that my time is best speculating on it. I think there are logical holes in Darwinism and evolution that too many people don't bother to point out or realize.

The point I'm making is that in sociology surveys or what ever generic classes kids are forced to take that they should be taught that creationism has branches in many religions and that many people have different ones according to their belief set. Just as a footnote in the lesson plan.
