If the classroom is teaching that evolution and related subjects is true then it is at the same time teaching the Christian doctrine about origins is not true.

Evolution contradicts the man made theory of The Inerrancy of a Literal Reading of Genesis. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Genesis is a true and literal representation of the creation of the earth. In fact, given the language and comparisons to other creation stories within Babylon during the penning of Genesis, it could be argued that the original Jews didn't take it literally either.Secondly, the science that is taught in the classroom should accurately portray the evidence that god included in his creation. In other words, science shouldn't be contradicted by reality, which most of "creation science" is. Being that the theory of an inerrant literal reading of Genesis is a man made theory, shouldn't we rely on what god left. After all, man wrote the bible but god wrote the rocks.

Nosyned said the classroom dosen't teach creationist/christian doctrine of origins is wrong. Oh yes they do by teaching somthing else is true.

It is not the fault of reality or nature that a literal reading of the bible is wrong. Boohoo-ing about it isn't going to change anything. You must first find scientific evidence that supports a literal reading of Genesis, and show how none of the evidence available contradicts it. This evidence must be testable and observable regardless of religious background. Until anyone does so, theories based solely on religious faith can not enter into discussion within a secular sciente classroom. If you want to be taught creationist theories, then go to a religious school.
