Question: Why is it okay for schools to teach evolution but not creation? I don't get it. Text books in public schools (high school or elementary) teach evolution. I hate it! They say that creation is religious, but I disagree. It is merely a belief... being a Christian, which I am, is faith not a religion. Man has made it into religion. I belive that they should just not teach how the earth was created at all. It saves those of us who believe in creation a lot of argueing. Schools are forcing students to believe what "they say" is right.

Answer: Short answer:\nScientific man came up with evolution, and God came up with creationism.  Scientific man declared that his is better, and foolish people, afraid to stand up for their beliefs, agreed with them.\n\nOh, and be sure you are not confusing things here:\n\nCreationism deals with the beginning of the universe.  The scientific theroy opposed to this is called "the Big Bang theory."\n\nEvolution deals with the change over time of species.  The faith-based theory opposed to this is called "intelligent design."
