Yes, Christianity should be more focussed on, for it applies a large part of the population. It would be like teaching evolution without mentioning Darwin. Yes there are hundreds of theories for both, but why not focus on hte major ones?
Should both be taught in Science? No, I don't think EITHER should. They are belief based, not science based.
Hannukah ---- "so you'd be okay if they also taught my theory that the world was created by dropping out of the anus of a giant pink and purple polka dotted unicorn with a bad case of jock itch?"
--- this is an example of evolution, not creation.

i won't respond to the main part of your post here since others already have and as far as finding sources (like that national geographic article secretmethod started to post) and unfortuanlty can't get into the read nitty gritty (genetic evidence and what not), i'll have to let people better versed in the details to discuss that stuff.
but my unicorn theory is a good example of creationism. not evolution. creationism is a belief that the world came about by and act of god. in my example, the supreme being (a unicorn with jock itch) decides to crap the earth out. how exactly would that be an example of evolution? or do you believe that the greek creation myth of the gods being born out of someone's head and creating the earth (i think that's the greek one, could be wrong) is also an example of evolution.
