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 [i]theory[/i] of evolution.

I see this as bullshit.

Both sides have no proof that either creation happened nor evolution (thus the [i]theory[/i] 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)?

And evoLuton is based on scientific fact and observations. Creationism is not. Therefore evolution is not 'belief'.

@AliBabe74: Technically evolution is a belief since we don't have proof that it actually is the answer to all of our life questions.

Example:
"I [i]believe[/i] in evolution"
"I [i]believe[/i] in creation"
"[i]I think[/i] evolution is the answer"
"[i]I think[/i] creation is the answer"

Evolution itself IS a fact and has been proven. We can see it everyday. We see 'forced' evolution in animal breeding. But the theory explains how ALL those facts come together in an overall idea of how everything evolved.

@BlackBloodDemon: evolution has lots and lots of factual evidence behind it. Creationism is bronze-age blather

@AliBabe74: "overall idea"

And that's just what evolution is... an overrall idea...

Are you truly that fucking dense?

This is why I know better than to get involved in these. The level of ignorance and stupidity is much too frustrating for me to deal with.

@AliBabe74: I'm not really dense... I'm stating my opinion on the matter

I don't think it's right to teach something in a science class when we don't know for sure if it's actually true. The same goes for creation. Everyone has their own beliefs. They shouldn't be put down for it in a science class when the science class is teaching something that's known to not be completely true either.

You obviously are that fucking dense. Science is about observable, proven facts, which there are many observable, proven facts of evolution. That's the whole fucking point.
