The Evolution / Creation Classroom debate is upside-down in the sense that Christians should not be trying to get creation taught in science class.
They should, however, be arguing that evolution should be taken out of science class because it is not even a true scientific theory. A scientific theory has to be disprovable - it has to make predictions that can be tested. Because the evolution hypothesis describes a process that slowly takes place over millions of years it is impossible to make predictions that can be measured to prove or disprove that theory.
Evolution at best can be called a hypothesis, but more acurately it is a religious faith-based ideology. What can and are being tested and measured are some of the assumptions that support the hypothesis of evolution, e.g. The RATE study that has examined several aspects of the problems with dating the earth as millions of years old [eg why is carbon14 [max 10,000 years old] found inside diamonds dated by other methods to be supposedly millions of years old]
Lets call a spade a spade:"Evolution as fact" in the classroom is state-sponsored teaching of religous dogma. [define dogma]
