I'm not suggesting that evolution and creation be taught. Earlier in this thread, I commented that it would be useful and fair for textbooks to have just one chapter on origin theories - to include the most widely held theories, not only evolution and creation. I consider evolution to be as scientific as creation. Origin theories cannot be considered purely a matter of science.
ETA: There would be no considerable change in teaching. As for the cost of textbooks, the government already has a schedule for providing updates to textbooks. This addition would simply come at the next update.
My suggestion does not change the study of science, as I've pointed out before.
