If we teach creation theory why should we limit it to just a christian based interpretation? Why not include the creation theories of all the other cultures and religions of the world both modern and ancient?
Good point. I personally love reading about all the different creation stories (the Australian aborigines is one of the most beautiful in my opinion).
I get what you are saying though. If one is presented as a myth, then they all must be presented as a myth. Which would be very unsatisfactory for Christians. I think that would be worse than not presenting it at all.
The biggest problem I have with the Big Bang theory is that most schools do not present it as a
theory they present it as fact. And at this point, we just do not have the scientific evidence to say "yes, for certain, this is how the Earth was created."
