Well I can see it both ways. I can see the reasons for both being taught as well. But I don't know if evolution can ever be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it happened. There are too many inconsistencies within that theory for me to believe it. I don't know if it happened or not, God is not above using stranger methods to accomplish his goals.

The big problem lies in the fact that science is simply the quest for knowledge, nothing more. It's constantly changing and improving as the human race learns more and more about itself and the world.

Creationism, on the other hand, is not rooted in one bit of factual data (and don't even go down that road with me, I've taken too many science classes and don't buy into a bit of it) and is based on peoples' personal belief system. That's fine for the individual, bad for the group.

Besides, how fair is it to teach Creationism to a Muslim child? How fair is it to teach the Protestant version of Creationism to a Catholic? There are so many reasons why church should stay out of public schools that it's not even funny. 

It would all be fine in a history of relgions class. Which I think would be a welcome addition to public education.
