After completing a BS in CS and working for a few years, I see most of the humanities and social science classes as the true waste. I have yet to use anything I learned in "History of Arch." or in "Psychology" on the job or life. I understand that universities think that employers want "well-rounded" students. However, I believe employers want students who can handle the job. I, as a student would have preferred additional CS courses in replacement of some of the other courses.
To your point of the mathematics classes and other sciences, I think maybe more of them should be electives so that a student needs 6 math/science classes and he/she can chose whether to go to high levels of math or to study more chemistry, physics etc. This would allow students to chose the classes that might line up better with the industry or field they are planning on.
However, I agree there is ZERO evidence that you or others will accept. This is because if you accept evidence against evolution you have to open yourselves to the possibility that there is a God. (Which by the way, there is and he is wonderful).
This world is so complex and so amazing. The more I learn about physics, chemistry, even Math, the more I am amazed with how there are so many things that work together on this planet. Science each year discovers more and more and disproves some of which used to be considered truth. I think it is interesting that some people's replies have compared creationism to "flat-earth" theories. However a better comparison would be evolution to flat-earth theories. At one point most people on earth believed that the earth was flat and that it explained many things. Now we know better. What if a few years from now we know better, that the theory of evolution was incorrect?
Please don't be a flat earth thinker. Consider all options and realize that just because there are several scientists that say evolution is correct, that doesn't mean it is. (Each year they change there mind on whether coffee is good for you.) Like I said, most people have their mind closed to options that include God before they even look at the subject. So, take a moment and consider the possibility.

Well, every theory ISN'T equally valid. First of all, there is ZERO -- ZERO -- evidence against evolution. ZERO
There is plenty of evidence. (http://emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs/top.htm/).
