If evolution is taught in public school science classes, shouldn't other theories about the origins and development of life also be taught at the same time? Isn't the focus on just one idea narrow-minded? Some believe that it is and therefore argue that there should be "balance" - if one theory (evolution) about life is taught, then "the other" theory (creationism) should also be taught.

Evolution is science. Creationism is not a science. If creationism is going to be taught, teach it in English class, where other fictional books are studied.
“Evolution is science. Creationism is not a science.”
Absolutely. In science theories can be falsified. Creationism is not a theory because it admits to no possibility of falsification. Creationism is a speculation – and a most marvelously pigheaded one at that.
This Creationist/ID equivocation about what “theory” actually means is the central strut in their flimsy little house of cards. Without this deception they don’t have even the price of admission to the discussion.
