If you teach evolution, teach about the alternate theories. It takes more than a few lessons in school to undermine the fundamental relgious/nonreligious beliefs of individuals.
I agree that schools should teach alternative theories about the creation of the world and the creation of man (these theories being so important in U.S. and world cultures), but it seems that a science class would be the wrong place to teach these. Science relies on the scientific method, and its seems inappropriate to expose kids in science class to religion at all (since it is based on faith - not the scientific method). Perhaps discussion of alternative theories should take place in a World social studies class or something like that.
