Should they just ignore contention and just answer all the questions the way written in textbooks?

Is evolution not a "faith" or religion that contradicts God's writ?

It seems like this is an unavoidable collision or crossing of paths, if a kid is going to public schools.


Not so much aimed at your post b.c, just sorta throwing some stuff out there worth consideration in relation to the subject.

you bring up excellent points, and I'm sure even Aquila would admit to several 'scientific' beliefs about creation that would have seen him burned at the stake as a heretic only a few hundred years ago. Miracles (which are for lost people) aside, i think a lot of the confusion lies in the interpretation of Genesis @ "and the earth was void," which is easily translated "and the earth became void," thus setting up our Creation mythology, which might have taken 6 of our days, or 6 of the other days, which term is currently escaping me--"Lord's Days?" ya
