Archer shall we teach them creation then, if we shouldn't teach them evolution? Is creation too much for their brains?

Funny, I went to a Baptist school for 3 years, and the Pensecola Christian books didn't mention evolution at all. Not sure what you think is scientific about Christian homeschooling.
Indoctrination should be kept at home. Perhaps an overview of religion but honestly I don't want a nut job telling my kid lies like Dinos were on the ARK.
I take a holistic approach to many things in the Bible and generally don't like the one verse sermons.
So no; no creationism.

Latitude. I can afford this as well and I don't like my kid passing through a metal detector.
AFIK they don't mention it. I don't believe they try to destroy it either.

Indeed, ironically, I've found most teachers' education to be lacking.

Ain't that the truth?
As are their intentions and pay. Those who can do and those who cant teach.

The Catholic Church officially recognizes evolution, and teaches creation and evolution together as a dogma.

The evidence for evolution isn't there. It is just imagination and people can just as easily imagine creation.

This evidence, you mean?

It's not enough to say, small changes add up to big changes, people want to see the proof.

That's nice. You can go back to sleep now.

I graduated from a catholic school so this is true. In fact it was because of discussion in biology, that encouraged me to seek what the stance was on evolution and faith. Well needless to say I was told to just listen and observe and not to question catholic faith matters on the subject.

You are losing the argument according to the OP. Maybe you need to start listening to instead of tuning out creationists.
The evidence for evolution is not there but what evidence there is points toward the scientific conclusions. I believe in creation but it is not for me to say what mechanism God used it is only for me to believe God set it in motion.
Clay, Mud, Primordial ooze make no difference to me. The father has revealed himself to me and that is enough. I find out the how in the science the why is in the Bible. I also see man as an independent creation as laid out in the Bible; does that mean nothing evolved? I can't say that without doing what Peter spoke against and that is false teaching.

Kinda like when people want to see proof that a god actually exists. What makes more sense: that commons species have ancestors and genes that are close in percentage or a magic being created everything out of nothing? Of course much of faith doesn't have to make sense to it's followers.

If evolution could be supported in the Bible then it would have came out before someone that decided to not take the Bible into account and come up with it.
