To the first point in bold. It's healthy to TEACH both THEORIES of evolution. Exposing people's minds to different cultures/beliefs isn't a bad thing. From the picture posted, It's not like they are preaching religion to someone, they are using an example taken out of The Bible which is a philosophical text. It's all theory and gives students a problem to solve. They aren't teaching the story of Noah's Ark, they are solving a problem.


To the second point in bold, what makes you so sure that they are giving "preferential treatment to one religion? Why does religion in general "especially Christianity" have no place in science or politics? I don't want to turn this into a religious discussion, but religion does have an element of philosophy as well as history.


You two really need to open your minds.
There are no "both" theories of evolution. There is one theory, that has been empirically observed and measured.


Also creationism doesn't focus on the changes in biology over time, it addresses the origin of the Universe itself and everything in it. Evolution does not address the origin of the Universe, it addresses changes in biology over time.
