But religion should be taught as religion not science. In my opinion widely agreed upon scientific hypotheses should be taught when considering unanswered questions, not folk story based religious concepts. But science is strong enough to handle competition from religious ideas about the formation of the Universe. These folk stories can be discussed just as briefly as the scientific hypotheses are, in any general science course. Does anyone teach a Big Bang Class anyway?

Leaving the presentation of an alternative that a majority of the population of THE ENTIRE WORLD believes out of the curriculum entirely is irresponsible and childish. Both science and religion can coexist. Instructors, almost all of the time, are going to be biased towards one side of the spectrum or the other, but that bias should not be thrust into the midst of a scientifically undetermined situation as a truth or inevitability.
