Are you pro or anti?
Arguements exist for both.
Personally I'm anti teaching creationism in school science lesson, I believe theist hypotheses should be taught in R.E. instead... But Kansas think used to think differently and they were pro, until it got turned round.

What do you think
Unless it has Scientific evidence backing it up it should not be taught in a science class. We teach the theory with the most evidence behind it because that's the most likely to be correct, and we should keep it that way.

No theory should ever be taught in a science class that isn't a testable hypothesis. Otherwise it isn't science.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

example? I'm running a blank on what you may be alluding to.

Any supernatural theory mostly or a theory that is based on information that is outside of our perception. Anything that isn't based on empirical evidence.

Ohhh....I agree then. For some reason I thought you were alluding to stuff that we couldn't see with our own eyes but we make theories on based on indirect evidence (crystallographic type data for example), or things that are historical and we can only theorize on through left over evidence (macroevolution)

You can still technically test things that have happened in the past. You just have to go through the sequence of events that led up to that event happening through other reliable evidence. Your theory can still be tested just based on whether it is consistent with what actually happened when applied to many different sets of data.

No, it should not be taught in school because it has no bearings in there.
Creationism is in the religious department. If someone wants to learn that, then they should go to a religious school, not in public schools. If it is included in public schools, then you are just taking two steps back in secular education.

I am a Pakistani.....my name is Dan....how hard is that? (Don't ask about the 101...apparantely there are more of me out there....)
schools force all sorts of questionable things on students as though everything always has 1 answer and the one they want to give you is the correct one. looking back i get angry that they did it.
to not even be able to question certain things they teach stunts academic growth. it works both ways.
children should be curious and ask questions and work through things logically. schools need faith...faith in the students.

Well... there goes the entirety of Psychology... and most social sciences actually.
