Because it isn't science. Why not spend a day teaching kids that space aliens, bigfoot, and the chupacabra? Or about virgin births in health class? There is this homeless guy who stands on the corner of one of the streets here in Chicago and screams about how the government is controlling our minds through radio signals. I don't think that is appropriate for class either, even though "some people think" that.
Religion has no business in a science class. We can't keep letting our country fall farther and farther behind others in this field. They are already churning out scientists at a 10 to 1 clip, now we are going to send them out into the real world believing dinosaurs were buried by the devil to test our faith.
