plain and simple, evolution and creationism are both theories. fine if you want to teach them both, but not in the same class or context. evolution is a scientific theory, creationism is a religious theory.

i'm all for having kids take religious theory classes that discuss theories of all religions so they can be better informed and to perhaps iradicate some of the stereotypes and misconceptions of people of certain religions that seem to be rampant these days.

but the idea of teaching biblical passages in a science class is just weird to me. i can't remember ever having been taught any sort of theory on the beginning of the earth in any level of schooling, so i guess Texas' current policy is to ignore it all together.
