Oh, missed that one. Perhaps you just want to have a quiet chat with the science teacher about this. It could be that he just doesn't want to get into a particular discussion and knowing the majority in the class are religious thinks he can fob them off with such answers, which if they are religious they will probably accept. Its not good for a teacher to do this of course, as he should be promoting enquiry.
You may find that the teacher is not so religious after all.
On the other hand, if he is a brainwashed believer teaching science then its probably better if you find another school, and possibly report the teacher to the authorities. Depending on the laws where you live, teaching "God" as the answer to known scientific facts could get him into trouble.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.
