I'm not sure what you're suggesting to be honest. Science needs to be taught in science lessons, and religion needs to be taught in religious studies classes.
I think evolutionism is a legitimate subject for study as an historic phenomenon. It's a disservice and a disgrace that students are kept in the dark about the origins of this religion.

This is why I often ask people here to demonstrate what creation "science" is. Notice that there is very little to support it in this whole forum.
That sounds like a suggestion to read the older threads & find out. Quite the bold bluff!

When we talk about "theory" though, keep in mind that a theory is not just an idea or a hunch. A hypothesis does not become a theory until it has been through rigorous testing and peer review.
But religions like evolutionism are exempt. Note that Darwin applied the term "theory" to his speculations in the very first edition of his book. He pioneered the abuse of the term.

(Notice that creationists are unwilling to change their own ideas about creation in the light of evidence, which usually requires them to ignore or misinterpret that evidence in order to fit it in with what they think MUST be true.)
False. Both onion coat and the "geologic column" were formulated and in time rejected by creationists. Knowing they didn't match the evidence, evolutionists glommed onto them.
