98.463% of those who basically accept the science that is the basis for the continuously revised ideas of **evolution** would, if left alone, merely proceed WITH that science and make no particular effort to argue about presumed religious beliefs.
   It is when those WITH religious beliefs demand that their positions/claims be 'taught' in schools as alternatives to standard science, that difficulties develop. It is the attempt by the most conservative groups to assert that no matter WHAT science shows, Creationism has an alternate theory that agrees with Genesis, Bishop Usher and that museum in Kentucky, that raises the hackles of science oriented folk.

Science, properly done, is neutral. If it found mounting evidence of artificial layers of sediment placed by some Creator's Hand and bones of Homo sapiens mixed in the same layers with Pterodactyls, it would say so and there would be very wide belief that Something beyond human 'made stuff'. That is NOT what is seen, and thus is so reported.
This does not **prove** that some Creator did not 'start the whole process', but so far, the evidence just is not there.....and that is what should be taught in **science** classes. It is NOT appropriate that science classes and textbooks should be designed and edited as they are trying to do in Texas to give someone's belief system equal weight. That is for the home & church to explain...AT home and IN church. No one in a science class should be either asserting OR denying opinions about religious ideas of creation.
