When is a theory a theory?

So the Council of Europe is going to vote on creationism! Apparently there is a fear of "creationism passing itself off as science and being taught as science". Of course no-one would ever allow the theory of evolution to be taught as unassailable fact.

If only evolution were taught as science. If it were admitted that it is only a theory that appears, to some, to fit the facts better than other theories. If only the variations of the theory were taught and the development of the theory were admitted. If only the short comings of those variants were discussed when the theory is taught.

Then we might be able to say, yes, over here is the theory of evolution and over there is the theory of intelligent design. And, perhaps there are other theories yet to emerge that we have not yet dreamed of.

But, please don't teach one theory as if it were fact, and deny the opportunity to examine other theories - where is the science in that? It sounds like blind faith to me - and blind faith is ignorance that never did anyone any good.
