Joe practically every sentence you say is a cringeworthy regurgitation of completely false creationist talking points. But I'll try to answer some of the most egregiously wrong stuff here.

Creationism is a science based theology just like Evolution. Infact some creationist theories even include Macro Evolution and many include Micro Evolution things we are taught in school. Its highly ignorant to judge all theories but Darwinian evolution as un-scientific. Plus right in your post you say that theology has no place in school, then why should the theory of Macro Evolution , Big Bang, Abiogenesis? None of those three theories are anymore scientific then the many Creationist theories. None of the three are scientific fact, all of them and infact all the methods of creation I was taught in school all of them were theories. |
This is so wrong I have trouble figuring out where to start. I suppose I could just take them in order of appearance.
--Creationism is not scientific, it is not science, and those involved in it are not scientists while so engaged, though they may be scientists in other areas of their lives. One important reason for this is that creationism does not produce testable hypotheses that would prove creationism flawed or wrong if the hypothesis was incorrect.
--The scientific body of theories popularly referred to as "evolutionary theory" is in no way theology or theological. If there is a theology called Evolution (or Evilution), it is a strawman created, probably by creationists, for the religious to fight against.
--It is far from ignorant to judge something unscientific if that judgment is based on a serious evaluation of its nature, methods, claims, etc., either done personally or by someone both trusted and knowledgeable. http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-creationists.html
--On the contrary, they are scientific, as you would know if you understood what a scientific theory was. And I do not say that insultingly or dismissively, or in passing: it is abundantly clear that you do not know, or do not acknowledge, what science is and what it is to be a theory. I seriously doubt that anything you were taught that denied what you call "macroevolution" was ever a scientific theory.
| So no one can explain creation, we can make educated guesses like creationists and evolutionists do all the time. But we can never prove one is right and one is wrong. |
I could argue that creationists' guesses are considerably less educated than they might be, but more importantly, the theories of "evolutionists" are way beyond any stage that could be called a guess. A hypothesis is advanced, tested, tested again, refined, retested, and if no one in the scientific community can manage to show that it inadequately explains the world around us compared to existing theories, then after years of trying, it too starts to be considered a theory.
| If schools want to teach theology they should make it abundantly clear to students "These are scientific theories not scientific facts" taught in a theology class to drive home that fact for students. |
Scientific theories are not theology, and I'm not even sure what you think makes a fact scientific instead of regular.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
