Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

Hi,

Is that Christians as a whole or certain groups?

Certain Christian groups.

Do you see a massive, organised effort by the christian church to ban teaching evolution? I sure don't.

No such thing as 'the christian church'. Whole bunch of denominations out there, some of whom accept evolution in one form or another, others who do not.

Also, as far as I'm concerned, the theory of evolution has almost as many holes in it as does creationism.

Creationism has no holes in it. One simple statement covers everything: god made it all. He could have done it by setting up the initial conditions in the big bang or by creating the whole universe a nanosecond ago, complete with you, me, and all our perceived memories. It is totally untestable, totally unfalsifiable, and has absolutely no predictive power. It does not explain anything, not hybrid vigor, not breeding for characteristics, not the tail of the peacock, nor the change of the coloration of tree moths during the industrial revolution.

As far as I'm concerned, they should both be presented as exactly that..... theories, and not as reality.

Then you are clueless of what a scientific theory is. Creationism is not a theory at all. It is simply an immutable claim that explains nothing and predicts nothing. And there is no 'reality' in the sense you are using the word. Our explanations of the world are all simply models that are useful over some domain -- nature does not study calculus.
