With respect, there is only one type of science. That's the version where you theorise, and collect and interpret evidence.

However, there are any number of creation stories. I think it was on James Randi's web-site (www.randi.org), someone posted a story by Michael Shermer during a debate about creationism. He asked the audience to put up their hands if they believed creation should be taught in schools. Nearly all hands went up.

Shermer then asked them whether they should teach the Hindu version of creation (cyclic universes). No one agreed. What about the Chinese version of creation (Earth created from an egg)? No. What about the "God spoke and it happened" version? Again no hands, even though that was the Judaeo-Christian version.

To get to my point, these people treated every "other" creation story as "just a myth" which didn't need to be taught. What makes the Judaeo-Christian version so different?

If students are to be taught the Chinese version of creation, which class should it be taught in? Then that's the class for every other non-scientific story of creation, Christian or not.
