do creationists want to not have evolution taught in schools, but don't care about all the other theories in science?

I may only be a high school student, but so much of the science we learn is theory:

The Cellular Theory
Einstein's Theory of Relativity

All of those scientific elements that have been accepted by the vast majority of scientists are only theories, yet creationists don't care about whether they are taught in schoos, yet evolution and global warming are so tabbo.

Creationists that don't want evolution taught in public schools for religous reasons don't have a valid arguement at all, but

Creationists now say the reason why they dont want it taught is because it is only Theory, and may not be true...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we only taught scientific Laws, and completly ignorred vastly accepted theories due to controversy, students would miss out on great learning oppertunites and there may be no future scientists to actually prove or disdrove them.

do nipples react when it's cold? What's the purpose? We shiver to create heat. There must be a reason for the nipples to erect right.

Evolutionists say that if evolution isn't true, then what is the alternative? Did animals just appear? They ask that if you accept the fossil evidence, it shows that not all animals appeared at the same time. Dogs aren't as old as dinosaurs, for example. If evolution isn't true, then that means that dogs just kind of appeared.

Your stories in your science books that you expect me to read don't prove anything. You can't disprove that animals didn't just appear. According to the mind of a gullible evolutionist, that automatically means that it probably isn't true.

There is evidence for creationism. Just go to a creationist website and they prove that evolution is not true.

When looking deep into ancient folklore, I happen to fall on descriptions of many kinds of humanoids like the minotaur, the centaur and the werewolf.

It thus sounds bizarre to me that recorded human history starts only with plain humans and does not talk about these not-so-alien individuals. If we consider humanoids are only (imaginative?) mixes of some already existing animal species and the human we know of today, they're not looking so mean.

My idea about this: humans result of crossed animal instincts and bodies. Half the way up would have lived the humanoids told about in legends.

For birds could run on two feet (ostrich), talk (parrot), sing and use tools (in fact, branches) well before the australopithecus ever did. And unless i'm wrong, elephants still own bigger brains than the homo sapiens do, while our brain/body mass ratio may have been once bested by some ultra light & cartilagenous species (i.e. birds again, or snakes which did not even own bones).

The scientists try to make up theories that disprove God exists. But every single one of those theories is full of holes. The bible provides the only logical explanation.

For example: If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?

Some of you know about the Serial Endosymbiosis Theory (SET), so such things could have happened, but which structures in the brain could have been a virus before being assimilated by our body (by those who have survived the contamination at least)?
I have an idea, but would like some other suggestions if possible...

This is not my homework questions, its for my review, if u're willing to help please do help me out.

The mammalian circulatory pattern has the advantage when compared to the fish circulatory pattern that :
the blood returns from the Right / Left side of the heart to be pumped a second time before traveling to the tissue.

please tell me if its RIGHT or LEFT coz i can't figure out by looking @ the diagram...


The right & left atria of the mammalian heart contract @ approximately the same time because:
1. special conducting fibers transmit the signal rapidly over the septum thatseparates the chambers.
2. a special node of tissue receives & delays the signal for the appropriate period of time.
3. the intercalated discs spread the signal rapidly between the individual muscle cells.
4. a pacemaker exists in the wall of the right atrium.
5. connective tissue separates the atria from the ventricles.
