ok so in a school run by a church they dont teach evolution coz they say its wrong in the bible but i think the should have to coz children should be able to make there own minds up about it what do you think?

Then by the same token, creation needs to be taught in public schools.  The road runs both ways.

Creation myths can be discussed in Religious Education classes (and I do stress discussed rather than taught).

i went to a christian school and they taught about what evolution was but said that god created us and evolution is just a scientific theory. teaching all the theories should be required. u should look it up. maybe ur school is illegal. my christian school was illegal and still is. they don't teach phonics, reading, or health

The word has very different meanings in scientific and casual contexts.

Creationism is already taught in religion lessons. It shouldn't be taught in a science class because it is NOT a scientific theory.

But religious schools shouldn't be able to get away with just not teaching evolution.

BUT, if evolution is going to be taught as science in the Christian schools, creation should be taught in the public schools. Both are nothing more than theories. You cannot say one is over the other without bringing a personal opinion into it. Public schools don't have religion lessons. Why should evolution be taught to everyone when creation is only taught to a select few. Should the students not have the right to decide what to believe AFTER being given both sides of the argument?

On the same token, public schools shouldn't be able to get away with just not teaching creation.

Secondly, please define "scientific theory". If you get it right you get 50 points.
