Creationists answer me this?

Creationists are often advocating that science classes teach the weaknesses of the theory of evolution. Why is it that they never demand that anyone teach the weakness of creationism?

Update:

brother trucker - Do you have a source for that 'There are 11 theories of evolution' statement?

    Teaching the inherent weaknesses in the creation theory would pretty much terminate the belief in creationism in anyone over the mental age of 9, that's why.

    There is no weakness in the theory, it's a proven fact. There are hundreds of job titles, millions of people that work with different parts of evolution in the medical field, the agriculture field, all sorts of things, every day. There is no alternative theory, the only thing you could say is that God might be real and could be "creating" through random variation and evolution. If it was an all powerful God, and it created about a quarter of the people in the world with some horrible disease like cancer waiting to happen, then that God would be a monster. There is a family in south america that all has six fingers on each hand. There's about fifty of them. All have it. that shows how random variation isn't that random, evolution has evolved so it works as if it was God.

    The weakness of creationism is that modern science has proven that it would take many millions of years for the Earth to be made ready for life. Creationism teaches it happened in 6 literal days.

    However, the interesting part is that the Bible and Science don't actually conflict - modern science does agree that the world was created in the order that the Genesis account describes. Also the Hewbrew word for day doesn't necessarily mean a literal 12 or 24 hour period. It can often be used to describe longer periods of time. Therefore, each creative "day" could have been many years long.

    I'm not a creationists but there is not creationist THEORY. "A spirit from nowhere that has never been observed did it all by magical forces that never have been observed, and don't have any theoretical explanation at all". There are no "holes" in creationism. It's like a bucket without bottom just one big hole.

    There are no weaknesses in creation. There are a lot of things we do not understand yet. There is no theory of evolution. There are many. 11 are currently accepted by science as being credible for discussion. It is when we concentrate on one theory to the detriment of the others that we find ourselves on unsubstansiated ground that is illogical.
