I don't want to get all tied up in the religious or legal aspects of
the ACLU or the school system in general, but shouldn't all science
textbooks come with the disclaimer? Something like "This book contains
the best known explanations and the current theory and the reader is
encouraged to challenge it at every opportunity."

Even getting away from the hot button of evolution, what about
astronomy? Do we really know what goes on in a black hole? Or planets
circling other stars? Or gravity? We have good theories - and every
test we've been able to put them to has proved the theories correct,
but that doesn't prove them conclusively.

As someone else's sig line reads - all models are flawed, some models
are useful.
