Despite that being bullshit, your alternative theory is to teach the pupils to have faith in a creator. Do you realise that's retarded? Until you can come up with a theory that is scientifically acceptable, shut up about evolution. We're open to evolution being wrong, just not creationism being right.
correction, we ARE open to creationism being a valid science
all it needs are experiments, predictions, results, observations and all of the other things that every other science on the planet has
EDIT: This last paragraph was meant more for JIA, and I don't feel like putting it into the third person.
special rules are not being made to exclude creationism, it just doesn't meet the standards of being a science. Feel free to start your own science, as places like the discover institute have, but expect as much respect from the real scientific community as you would have for a bunch of hicks trying to tell you about how God really works.

what was the prediction?

Someone predicted that the rapture was going to happen on that day...I think it was the same man who predicted it was going to happen last year. I think that anyone who followed and believed this guy after he was wrong the first time, would have to be utterly stupid to believe him a second time...and now, if anyone follows him, they don't derserve their brains.
The Chick tracts are written to lure in children... children, generally do not need facts to believe something, that is why those cartoons rely on basically just saying "You are wrong; I am right" over and over again. Religion, like the tobacco companies (for example) know that children are easier potential addicts than adults, so they start targeting the young... Jack Chick is little more than a chicken-hawk.
That comic is even more insane then most. I like how they claim only 2% of the people are gay, yet still the entire city of Sodom was filled with them somehow.
Seems strange, seeing as a city would still need to reproduce in order to continue to exist. God could just as well have waited a bit longer.
If you read older passaged/Bibles, Sodom was destroyed for its wickedness and greed, because the city prospered, but refused to share its food/wealth with the less fortunate. Not because of a roving gang of anal-hunger rapist. Though the latter does make for a better story.
I just have one question:
If god is omnipotent AND omniscient, then how come he could make ants, bees, crocodiles, Dogs, Lions, tigers, African swallows, and every other extant creature perfectly, but not humans. He had to send his son to die for us to complete us, and that only works after we die! Humans sure are special, hunh? Also, If god was really on our side, why doesn't he protect us from death? He has to be on our side against the poisonous snakes, spiders, rabid dogs, viruses, fungus, genetic irregularities etc.
It makes more sense that humans were made just fine and it is only the way of life that we are pursuing that has put the god into a position where they must choose either to side with us or with the rest of the biological community. It makes more sense that god put as much care into humans as she did into dust mites, trees, Australian pythons... What have you! It makes more sense that god cares as much for us as for the mosquito that I just slapped. I can't believe in an incompetent God, so I refuse to believe that I must be saved, that I was created in an imperfect state, and so I am at odds with All major religions that I know of.
