Teaching the Truth in Schools

Over here in Holland, we don't really have problems with evolution. most people here are agnostic or just don't care. But the difference between evolution and creationism is that for evolution, we started from scratch and built up a theory based on what we can see and touch. such 'foundationalism' is not present in the creationist theory which prefers an inductive approach by attempting to match the ideas conveyed in ancient documents with the real world. Evolution is therefore the higher form of knowledge since it presupposes only man's ability to observe and interpret his environment.The resistance to the teaching of evolution in schools is really just a lingering protest from a dying religion

Well, i think that the teaching of religion is ok, as long as it's not a 'revival campaign'. It should be an optional subject that describes a variety of religions in a matter of fact fashion like history or geography. It should definitely not come under science or philosophy, rather it should be classed among the humanities, describing the different aspects of religions, similarities and differences between various religions and their roles and origins in history. Singing prayer hymns, engaging in rituals, etc, should not be the focus although the rituals of various religions should be studied.
