I'm going to be perfectly frank. Creationism *is* fake. At least from a scientific perspective. If students want to ignore the science and believe creationism, they're more than welcome to. But any teacher who says "evolution is the only correct story" (and I take this the way the teacher meant it, as a comparison to various creationism stories) is simply doing their job: teaching.

I believe in a higher power and I believe that this higher power has something to do with all of creation. I don't believe in rejecting what we *know* through science in order to avoid reevaluating how I think of this higher power, and I don't believe it is a teacher's job to facilitate such attitudes.
