If we don't teach creation in school, because of other people's beliefs, why teach evolution?

I don't really believe in creation (or evolution), but it just saddens me how people bash on creationists, and don't let them learn creation in school, while it's okay to teach them the theory of evolution.

I see this as bullshit.

Both sides have no proof that either creation happened nor evolution (thus the theory of evolution). In my opinion, we should just leave both out completely (or give students an option).

It's not fair to creationists to not be able to learn their beliefs, while other beliefs are forced down their throats. It's just not fair in my opinion.

What do you guys think (and yes, I did get this idea from another person's post about wanting to fight a creationist on their beliefs)?

Because there is ample, objective evidence for evolution and creationism is a mere hypothesis.

@redredred: Evoltuion is a mere hyptohesis as well... The THEORY of evolution?

@BlackBloodDemon: do you know anything about science and scientific terminology???

@BlackBloodDemon: If evolution were only a hypothesis, it wouldn't be called the Theory of Evolution, it would be the Hypothesis of Evolution.

@BlackBloodDemon: "theory" is the highest level of proof in science. Einstein's theory of relativity corrected Newton's laws of motion. You are using a device right now constructed with help from circuit theory. Even Gravity is a theory. A hypothesis is simply a conjecture.

A theory is tested and has yet to fail a single test. Google endogenous retroviruses (ERV) and see the incontrovertible proof of evolution.
