I don't think your point is valid- Creation is an unprovable and unDISprovable idea, whereas evolution is scientific and therefor disprovable. It is, as it stands, the best scientific explanation for how biological life came to be as it is. That is why we teach it in schools, and why it is called the Theory of Evolution; there is much supporting evidence, which is being added to continually in areas such as microbiology.
Why teach them anything at all, in fact? Let's just leave everything at "God did it" and be happy.
Where this is indeed possible, it is very very unlikely in the case of evolution- in fact I would go so far as to say it is impossible for this to happen in the case of evolution, since we know for a fact that organisms change over time. Natural selection, since it happens over such a long period of time, is impossible to prove as such, but there is so much evidence for it that it is hardly at all likely for the evidence to "change to some completely different conclusion" in this case.
