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)?
