You've probably heard the many debates going on that school textbooks should include warning labels that evolution is only a theory, that there are other explanations, and that students should keep an open and critical mind when it comes to education on evolution.   Personally, I don't think schoolbooks need those labels.  If parents are concerned that their kids see evolution as the only explanation for life on Earth, then those parents need to explain Creation theory to their kids.  Simple as that.  Just as I would try to explain conservative viewpoints to my step-children, who hear lots of liberal viewpoints at school (and few if any conservative ones), religious parents should explain their viewpoints to their kids and provide whatever evidence they have to support those viewpoints.  It shouldn't be necessary to stick a label in a textbook in order to help a kid understand that his parents disagree with the material being taught.

In any case, I thought it was very amusing that someone has decided to take a similar approach to physics textbooks, suggesting that the "theory" of gravity be examined critically and treated as only one explanation for observed phenomena.  Read the article here:
