As to what mankind will believe, or know, about the origins of man in 2250, I don't know and can't even guess. I base this "prediction" on the fact that there are major gaps in the proof of evolution, and that while I generally believe in the theory, I also am aware that it would not take very many finds inconsistent with the theory to completely discredit it.

Most of the science we teach today will probably seem ridiculously antiquated in 2250. Does that mean we should not teach it? Evolution is the best currently available explanation for observed phenomena, and should be taught as such. "Creation Science" is in another category altogether; if it belongs in schools at all it is only in the category of comparative religion, where it could be taught alongside other creation myths.
