And you think this is teaching science? Yikes!!! Tolerating diversity is a critical skill but it isn't science.

No, I think it's teaching origin theory. You have the big bangers, the steady-staters, and the creationists. Within each, there are sects. There are also other-believers. You apparently have only one understanding if what a creationist can be. I have never not believed in evolution -- punctuated evolution. I do not not believe in the evolution of the universe. I do believe the universe is a creation. Does a cell know it is part of a bigger body? MUST there be no builder?
As for FIRST CAUSE, this is a term many astrophysicists have used on this site many many times to describe t-0. I have asked several times for someone to explain t- "-1" and have received nothing. Most times I have received "that is first cause, and since it is before time, no comment." I did not derive the term first cause, but can demand an explanation. Why? Because some are very confident as to what was like to reverse the clock to t-.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds before the big bang, but can't describe what it was that went BANG. I have a right to know in order to accept the theory.
Fact is, the determination of the above is in reality the validation or invalidation of creationism.
Why is it so hard to satisfy me? (Which is a different discussion than why should you try... why? because I will listen)
