Actually there is an incredible amount of evidence for the big bang theory. The "expanding" universe, background radiation, etc.
"Creationism" on the other hand isn't a "theory" at all. It's religion.
If you are going to teach history according to the "Abrahamic" religions, why not what the Buddhist, Hindus, Sikhs as well? Their beliefs are just as valid.
And by "just as valid", I mean not valid at all.
Using tax money to teach religious nonsense violates the social pact we have established with the separation of church and state.
