Should we just apply this to creation/evolution, surely claims can be made for applying this imaginative policy throughout the science curriculum (see link)?

You forget, Creationism is an untested hypothesis, not a theory.

I think we should teach science:
and neither Creation nor Evolution should be considered science: Neither of them hold up under the microscope and they shoul both be taught as religion:
Jonathan Wells said "I predict that in the next 20 to 30 years we shall all look back and ask ourselves how we could have ever even considered evolution."
The universe is a complicated thing, and science does not withold the answers, thus leading us to the conclusion that there must be an Itelligent Designer.
Plus, the evidence that you use for evolution can be turned around and support our cause: Common Genetics:
Did you ever stop to think that maybe God used the same materials to build different things?
Like a bridge builder, he makes different bridges but he uses the same material everytime:
I believe that there is a God, science is great but it just doesn't have all the answers to life that we are looking for....

Good diplomatic answer, but I wouldn't feel right if only the Christian creationism was taught. Once you let one religion in you have to let them all in. That's why it's best to stick purely with science and teach Creationism at church.

No, well people have always believed in God, but believing in evolution is a whole other story. There is absolutely zero proof that evolution exists. As a matter of fact I've heard that scientists a long time ago including Albert Einstein proved Darwins theory of Evolution wrong. Evolution is based on facts, which is was already proven wrong, but believing in God is based on Faith in Jesus Christ ant that he is the son of God who exists also.

It seems amusing until you realize that there are christians who think that way. If they ever won on evolution they'd go after geology next. There's a whole lot of science that makes the bible look stupid.

Science explains the existence of God.. It proves his wisdom, the false church community of pagans, are just ignorant of it! Anybody who disputes science is an idiot, God allowed for us to strengthen our faith in him! Ein was prophesing about God lol we're hopeless! Why even bother trying to explain to an alienated people? Science exposes the wisdom of God just cause the false religion community can't explain scripurally science doen't make them wrong. Science condemns the ignorance of false cults. Which are all who condemn science!! http://pureword.21.forumer.com

I agree with HappyKid. My view of creationism is not the same as yours.

Just teach the FACTS, whatever they may be. Is that really too much to ask for?
