This is different from a state approved religion taught to discredit other religions how?

1. No, the Puritans wouldn't have approved. They would have solved the debate by hanging every biologist for withcraft. The Puritans are not a measuring stick for anything except proving by example how horrible life can be when an entire culture believes in idiot dogma like... you guessed it... creationism.
2. Because its science, not religion. A scientific discovery which disproves religion does not become a religion itself. It remains, to the extreme frustration of fundamentalists, just a fact. You're trying to turn science into a competing religion. You really think anyone here is going to let you get away with a trick that transparant? The fact that you have to use such sleight of hand to even stay afloat in this debate says something about the position you've taken, doesn't it?
