You seem to think that the only viable way to teach science/biology is by teaching evolution. You can give a 100% complete science course and not teach it (or, as is correct, teach it then explain holes or weaknesses in said theory). My school uses such a program (Exploring Creation with Biology by Wile and Durnell if someone was interested). God and science go hand in hand, else such people as Gregor Mendel and Issac Newton would not have discovered the important things they did.

You know... I dunno about you guys... I've gone to catholic schools all my life... and well.

They have always, always taught evolution/biology.

And they have always, always said "Most science does NOT contradict religion."

Especially when you take into account the fact that the story of Adam and Eve was not meant to be interpreted literally. (this is all according to what my teachers/adults around have told me :p)

Did they offer proof for that assumption? If not, I would personally take what they say with a grain of salt.

I don’t know if it would count as a Catholic school, but I was a science teacher and 10th-grade homeroom teacher at an international school here in Japan run by a Japanese Catholic priest. I taught my 7th-grade students that the Big Bang was only a theory, and a very flimsy one at that, when the textbook tried to present it as a proven fact! I then presented various independent pieces of evidence AGAINST the Big Bang, pointing out that the Universe simply having no beginning and no end and always existing as it is now is a far simpler explanation.

Check this out too: The Big Bang is Just Religion Disguised as Science
