Public schools should not teach the "theory of evolution" as a scientific fact.

Connie, you should read my above post, where I explain to you why, in science, sometimes 'theory' becomes approximated as 'fact', and why that's not only a good thing, but a necessary thing.
I don't mean to insult or intrude on your beliefs, but I do think you're not as well-grounded in science as some of us, and these concepts are not exactly intuitive without that grounding.

This is EXACTLY the point I was trying to get at before - should we include stories from Buddhist or Hindu texts, for completeness? I get the distinct feeling people only want Genesis, which feels wrong to my simple mind.
