Origins of Humanity

Various origins of humanity should be discussed in schools so that students know the full spectrum of positions on human origin, and each position much be presented objectively. I say that statement for public schools, even though I wish that didn't have to be the case. The public school just isn't the forum for me to emphasize my personal view.

Even if I were to teach in a private school that supported my position on human origin, I still believe that it would be a most beneficial for my students to be introduced to the various other positions.

Today schools tend to teach evolution more than creation because it is purely scientific, but I would contest that assumption since there are loop holes in evolution's theories. For instance, if the humans evolved from apes, where in the world did souls/spirituality come from?
