why would it be a problem to teach it in schools?

I am utterly surprised by the lack of knowledge and insight show in these answers. I would have expected far more open mindedness from those of you who perportedly study philosophy. You obviously have no idea of the scope and depth of the study of creation science theory. It is no more proven nor disproven than the theory of evolution.

Not everyone is threatened by creation science theory, I m not threatened.
Physics laws state that to any action there will be a reaction, and any action is a result of (caused by) an action in the past. Therefore saying that if a world exists (and it exists), there must be some cause to that ( a creator for example). And you may call this creator with any name you like: GOD, cosmic energy, universal power. It does not matter what you call that power.
Therefore there is no contradiction to science, although it is not possible to prove 100% that a Creator exists according to scientific methods. Since it is not also possible to prove scientifically that there is no creator to this world. On the contrary it is much more difficult to prove that this world exists without being created, it is against any common sense, and also against the action-reaction process.
So it is legitimate to teach the creation science theory as the opposite theory.

Teach it in schools; in religious/philosophy class, not in science class. I am not threatened; I am bemused by the utter nonsense that is be purported as real. " Creation "? I have no evidence. " Science "? Not even close to science. " Theory ? No, theories are supported by fact and have great predictive power, as evolution by natural selection does. " Creation science theory " is not supported by a shred of evidence and could not predict next Tuesday. There is the problem!
PS Your additional details mark you as an utter fool. Science does not " prove " anything, it shows preponderance of evidence. Creation science theory is almost an oxymoron, as I said it shows no evidence and has been held up to ridicule among all right thinking people( I could almost say, righteous) every where. Educate yourself, young lady, before you dismiss your intellectual betters.

Because it's intellectually degrading. It's an atrocity to even consider teaching something so lowly in our science classes. It is absolutely not science but religion in disguise.
To see intellectualism in such a sad state today is displeasing. We should not turn our heads away from the scientific method which has achieved so much for us as a human race. It's nonsense. People need to get their heads out of the gutter, wake up and learn about the world around them; not some pseudoscientific bigotry. It's a downright disgrace to science and the greatest geniuses we have ever known to include this crap in our classrooms.
Go take philosophy if you want to contemplate the exitance of God. Go to church if you want to learn the ways of God. Keep it out of the science classes.

what exactly do they teach? If all the church wants is for the teacher to read a brief statement to the class saying that god made everything, that would be fine. Yes, it would probably violate the law, but even so, it would take all of four seconds, and then they could get down to teaching useful scientific methods and theorys. If the kids wanted an extra dose of creationism they could drag their hungover selfs to sunday school and learn it there, where it belongs.

no longer threatened, basically saddened that folk think of they have the spectacular to tension their ideals on others. I relatively have study the bible, this is stuffed with blunders, blunders, and contradictions. maximum persons have faith Adam and Eve have been the 1st human beings, even although the bible never says that!! guy replaced into created interior the financial disaster until eventually now because of the fact there is medical info (i.e. historic documentation) that many of the thoughts advised interior the bible have been according to previous thoughts and fables, why might or no longer it relatively is reasonable to coach creatiion concept, while this is obviously improper? basically reason to coach it would be to purpose and brainwash different peoples' infants and tension them into believing what you and others choose them to have faith. THat replaced into what Hitler did, and look what befell.

You shouldn't teach it as science in school because it is not falsifiable. If it is possible to prove that something is not true with evidence, has strong evidence to support it, but hasn't been proved wrong, then it is a scientific theory. If the first condition isn't meant, you are dealing with philosophy.

Provable things can easily be taught, such as math, earth science, language, etc. Any subject that might have a hint of spirituality as a basis would be a tough sell for public schools.

Sure we can teach religion like christianity, satanic cults, buddhism, taoism, hinduism, islam, shintoism, and a host of others, as long as it's not on a government facility or government supported entity.
The threat I presume has to do with the gradual degradation of the constitution. We disregard separation of church and state now...your rights and freedom later.

"Everyone" is alot of people. My quarrel is with irrationality, wishful thinking, superstitions, intellectual dishonesty, and all other forms of thinking that keep mankind mired in darkness, ignorance and hate. Objective reality relies on evidence, observation, and other pillars of science...fairy tales should be kept where they belong.
