Well, My point is that children will believe that they are told from adults, especially teachers and parents. I cant question the parenting inside peoples homes, I would argue that using that trust to get the child to believe in the same thing you do when its clear that are other valid alternatives is questionable. They should be able to explore, In my school we had people who tutted when the teacher talked about evolution. They are taught what their parents want them to believe before they are smart and old enough to seprate fact from belief.

Like I said, Many people find a faith when they are older. I have no problem with that, or with them believing what they want. Generally its a positive thing. Its just the portrayal to others, especially young people, that Creationism is equal to Evolution in terms of proof/likelyhood
