Both are a belief, and therefore require faith.  See webster post by Bruce.

				Nothing is provable in science. Only disprovable. And when I pointed out the distinction between evolution and natural selection in the other post, I stated that the natural selection part was not a fact. So obviously evolution + natural selection + abiogenesis + big bang is not a fact.

Exactly.  So if it's not a fact, why present it that way, TO THE EXCLUSION of every other possibility?  Why not ALSO teach the creation theories of different religious belief systems as well?
