Creationism v Evolution

As more and more schools across the United States discuss the issue of teaching Creationism as a theoretical alternative to the Theory of Evolution, it occurs to me that one important factor is being overlooked.

The Theory of Creation as taught in the Bible is not the only religious view of how our world began. If we assume that Creationism is a credible alternative to the Theory of Evolution, and therefore that a faith-based scientific approach is valid, it logically makes sense that the following should EQUALLY be taught in schools amongst others:

1. Hindu mythology depicts Creation in anthropomorphic terms and there are various versions of Creation in the various Puranas. The most common version is that at the time of Creation Vishnu wakes up and a lotus emerges from his navel on which Brahma is seated. Brahma then creates the universe.Read more: http://hinduism.suite101.com/article.cfm/faqs__creation_desruction_heaven#ixzz0VjEaowW1

2. Heaven and Earth were once the Chaos (hun-tun) like a chicken's egg, in which P'an-ku was born. After eighteen thousand years, this chaotic mass split apart, what was high and clear forming Heaven, and what was dark and turbid forming Earth. P'an-ku stood between them. His body transformed nine times daily while his head supported the Heaven and his feet stabilized the Earth. Thereafter, Heaven daily increased ten feet in height, Earth daily increased ten feet in thickness, and P'an-ku daily increased ten feet in size. This continued for another eighteen thousand years. Hence, Heaven is so high, Earth so thick, and P'an-ku so long. This is how aven and Earth came to be separated by their present distance of ninety thousand li [a li is about one-third of an English mile].

As the Christian view of Creation is based purely on faith, then it cannot be considered in any way superior to Hindu, Taoist, Buddhist or indeed any 'extinct' religious beliefs such as those held by Vikings, Romans, Greeks, Persians and on and on.

Therefore, surely Christian scientists and advocates of Creationism should not object to alternative religious beliefs on how the world began being taught in schools as a counterpoint to both Creationism and the Theory of Evolution.

Unless of course they don't want other religious views on how the world began being taught in schools.
