Why not teach it as part of a mythology course? No one demands that we add the "Marduk creation story" to the science curriculum; we understand that it belongs with all of the other super-hero stories written before we had typewriters. The Canaanite pantheon misses it's little brother-- send Yahweh back home, where he belongs.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
