Science is the ongoing search to understand the mechanisms in nature which produce what we see in the world around us.
A theory in science is not a static fact, but is a model or framework which represents our best understanding of the natural mechanisms responsible for what we see around us. As we acquire more data a theory becomes better supported and we gain more confidence in it or we discover that our understanding was faulty and the theory is adjusted or replaced by a better one.
A good theory must give us the power to make predictions about what we should expect to find and lead us to new discoveries. Above all a theory must be falsifiable, there should always be some data, that if found, would disprove the theory.
Should God himself appear and offer irrefutable proof that He was responsible for creation, it still wouldn't earn Him a seat in the science classroom.
Keep religious ideologies such as creationism and intelligent design out of the science class, let them be taught in philosophy or comparative religions where they belong.
