Losing my religion.

Well, the textbooks say theory one time and then act like it's the law of gravity, irrefutable.

I'm not saying I want all of you to throw the Theory out the window as bullshit, or even that I want you to "consider God." I don't. I'm NOT one of those "pushy christians." All I'm trying to get across is that if you're going to teach one non provable theory of creation, you need to teach all of them.

A theory IS provable. It's included in the definition. Theories are treated as if they had been proven over and over and over because they HAVE been proven over and over and over. Scientists don't call something a theory unless they have a great deal of empirical evidence. This is the definition of theory: Something that has been shown to be true over and over and over.

What you believe in doesn't matter. They are teaching nonobservable ideas as FACT and it's wrong.

Neither side creation or evolution has a single shred of proof, both are based on ideas.

What about the fossil finds of Ardipithecus ramidus, Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, Australopithecus anamensis, Australopithecus garhi, Australopithecus aethiopicus, Australopithecus boisei, Australopithecus robustus, Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, Homo ergaster, Homo erectus, and Homo neanderthalensis?
