Creationism is not science, meaning it is not subject to falsification, and has no more evidence than what is written in the Bible.
Presenting kids with both ideas (evolution and creationism) implies that both are equally valid!!!, when in fact this is NOT the case.
Evolution is much harder to comprehend than creationism, and unfortunately Americans want something they can easily believe, and too often let their religious views get in the way of doing what is right.
The fact that this debate still continues is ridiculous. Creationism encourages the Christian faith over other religions, which is not only ignorant to others' beliefs, but violates the separation of Church and State.
Therefore many Christians changed it to "Intelligent Design", which is still pseudoscience with no evidence other than trying to find flaws in the evolutionary theory. However, disproving one doesn't make the other right.
Please tell me why you think creationism should be taught (if you do).
