You are leaving out possibilities again. There is more than one
creation theory as well. Some versions are much simpler than the
"six day" theory (I think I heard a creationist use the phrase "Ocam's Razor").
For instance it has been hypothesized that God said
"Be!" and everything was. Would it be "equal treatment" to teach
the Christian theory but not the theory of the ancient Greeks (which
does not include an omnipotent creator)?
