such as the atomic theory, the genetic theory and the theory that the earth revolves around the sun?

No, schools should not stop teaching about scientific theories -- as long as they are taught as THEORIES, not facts.
By the way, the ones you mentioned aren't theories any more. They've been proven.
But evolution hasn't been. So your implied attempt to equate evolution with the others you mention, no offense, is bogus.
And evolution is not supported by the fossil record. That's a fact which a lot of "evolution cheerleaders" don't seem to realize, or don't want to accept.

No, Creationism is acknowledging that God was in fact around and did it. The other theory is that there is no God at all. Macro Evolution did occur, creating variations in species.
A theory is an idea not a fact, what you have mentioned has been proven fact ( nuclear thermo dynamics of 1st Peter 3) and those Darwinistic theories a proven myth! A Fallacy or outright lie.

The atomic age is a reality as well as genetics. It is a proven fact that the earth revolves around the sun. None of these things that you mention are theories!
I believe that schools should teach that God created the world and everything in it, exactly as described in Genesis!

Who doesn't believe Earth revolves around the sun? O_O
I never had any problem reconciling any of those theories with my belief in creationism.
Anyway, no. It's important for students to know the prevalent scientific theories as well as whatever their religions teach them. Trying to hide science from them can only signal an insecurity about the truth of their religion.
Besides, all those things are fascinating, especially genetics.

No and they should teach the theories of evolution as well. God made evolution too. Parents of the children should teach them about their beliefs and if parents want their children to learn about faith in school they should send them to private school. God never instructed me or if He did I missed it to help mandate that only what I believe be taught. I am only a humble servant of my Lord Christ and quite sure I get a lot wrong. I could be wrong about this but I have peace in my spirit about it. Further I do not really trust organized religion. Christ is the head of my church not some man. Being the Lord Christ He is unafraid of the world going to heck in a hand basket because the government is perceived as condoning sin. Our government is the greatest on earth because our constitution gives us legal right to the God given right of choice in how we worship or not and He is the judge and I'm not.

Theories based on fact have there place in education. However when theories have been disproved and are still being taught, in some cases almost 100 years after being disproved, then I have a real issue with that.

Yes. Only religion should be taught. Much like Iran. Lord knows that a supreme being belching out orders to the cosmos and making the entire universe and then planting dinosaur fossils to test our faith is sooooooo much more feasible that the current complicated scientific explanation of things.

yes, those ideas are outrageous, especially that last one about the earth going around the sun. No way is that one true! I'd write more. but I'm on my way to perform an Inquisition now.

Teaching a rounded selection is not according to the teaching of God but does give man a chance to see and weigh out what is reality!
Man will forever try to present an argument for God and His plan....but mans opinions do not change history nor the Word!!!

No but they didn't need to stop teaching creationism either! Why should we teach all the other stuff and not teach creationism is the real question.
