I don't fully blame people with your mindset. The world banksters are the ones who are behind funding the scientific community who propagate evolution. Yet it's the idiots like you who blindly believe everything they present to you without questioning it. If you research you will find strong evidence that doesn't support evolution. Till you start questioning everything that is presented to you then you will remain a dumb drone who just repeats what they show you.

I can see your complaint about hypocrisy, and and that is is due to your mistake in considering these two ideas to have equivalent value, instead of being in 'non-overlapping magisteria', as Steven Gould described them. The Theory of Evolution is fully proven in all its basic parts, demonstrated and useful to society. Creationism's concepts are either unprovable, or disproven. There are no exceptions.

Really? Here's my point. If you can't see the hypocrisy in students being forced to learn a THEORY of origins which may go against their religious beliefs then you are truly ignorant. Just like how a atheist shouldn't be subjugated to religious ideology a non-atheist shouldn't be subjugated to non-religious origin ideology.

One side can be, has been and fully passed every scientific test it has been subjected to. Simulation, plus laboratory demonstration plus field observation sure as hell is a proof. Exactly, non-religious FACTS are obviously not subject to religious prohibitions.

You want to leave reality out of education, unless as an elective.... interesting approach to education, there. Do you feel that germ theory and heliocentric are similarly optional? Because they really aren't.

"What other standard than physical reality can a public, secular school in a multicultural society possibly use?"

That is simple, just leave it out. If kids want to take a study on the theory of evolution then let that be something they sign up for.

3: As for your last comment, 1. I just said that that evolutionary theory has been tested- it has passed every test, in simulation, in the lab, even in the field. 2. This is a new one. What exactly is a 'macro species' and how would it differ from a 'micro species'? 3. Species change is not the only test that can be performed on evolution, what do you think a theory would become after it has been tested?
