I view it as a violation of the separation of church and state (while in and of itself isn't law), and a spread of false information. It's place is not in public education, and particularly not in science class.

Congress is establishing a religion?

In the sense that teaching one religion's creation story and not another religion's implies preference for that religion, yes.

Preference isn't the establishment of a state religion.

Proof? How can you even say that politicians preferring one religion over another is anything close to the Church of England.
