Don't expect truth from public schools. It's a stacked deck, a rigged system. Public school teachers are often fired if they publicly admit creation may be true. They have economic, political, guns pointed at their heads. They are NOT at liberty to go wherever evidence leads.
Creation is the basis of the United States Declaration of Independence.
The US constitution grants to government certain authority, retaining all other rights to the people. The issue is far more than academic. We see the perfection of God's handiwork everywhere we look, the miracles of the human eye, the brain, consciousness, the growing process, the birth process, the immune system. But, we also see the atrocities of man's cruelty to man. God made a perfect world, which then suffered the Fall at the Garden of Eden.
