hi alexandra,
I agree with you 100%! Creationism is the CHRISTIAN theory of how man came to form on this world, but it's not the same theory held by the ancient Greeks, the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Muslims, the Native American tribes in the USA, the First Nations in Canada, or the Aborigines in Australia. There are multiple religious theories that explain the ascent of modern man...all slightly different.The evolutionary theory is the only scientific theory based on current science.
It seems that if you teach ONE religious theory (Christian Creationism) then you should really teach a "religion of the worlds" class and cover how many different religions see the development of man. That way you'd really expose the kids to different world views. Plus it would be really interesting!
