Why do we want to teach things that are not absolutely provable in a science class?
There are no scientific theories that are absolutely proven. Even the Germ Theory of Disease is not considered to be absolutely proven. Should we not teach that germs cause disease in science class?
For Creationist it is a religious agenda for Evolutionists it is a religiously held philosophical agenda.
What religiously held philosophical agenda are evolutionists pushing?
The origin of the universe and how reality is constructed is still too unknown to make any categorical statements about.
How species changed over time is not unknown. The geologic history of the Earth is not unknown. These things are well evidenced and well understood.
I would suggest we simply state that fact and/ or present a few alternative POVs on the subject and even allow the instructor to state plainly which POV he/she ascribes to and why rather than insisting that only our own biased view be the allowed to be uttered in a classroom. I cannot understand the abject fear by some people of the possibility that some other POV might be heard as well as their own. To me that shows a lack of condifidence in one's own POV.
We aren't talking about POV class. We are talking about SCIENCE class. A scientific theory isn't a point of view.
