You're probably going to get a lot of contradictory opinions on this. I am a scientist that sees evolution as being supported by much factual evidence but being touted as an established law before it is ready to be so categorized. The reason for this is a psychological reaction formation on the part of scientists to the zealous intensity of faith based efforts to get evidence for God in the classroom to counter the hopelessness of rampant materialism. Clergymen too tout their sacred texts as the final and ultimate answer to the question of, "why are we?"
I would like to quote a biologist who said it all about the very basis of evolved life the living cell which contains the "stuff" of heredity, and the means to express that "stuff". "If a cell is an orchestra and DNA the score, who or what conducts?" Dr. Franklin M. Harold went on to say "My colleagues in molecular science seem determined to ascribe that role also to the genome.... I find that attribution unbelievable". So do I

Evolution is a scientific theory, that is supported by mountains of evidence and has predictive power. Creationism is a religious belief, that has not one stick of evidence to support it and could not predict next Tuesday. There is no debate here, just frightened, ignorant and ill educated people, creationists, who are afraid of the truth. The truth does not need a creationists belief, or for that matter, an evolutionists belief. The truth is true regardless of belief and the truth does not need anyone's belief to be true.

If you mean what I think you mean.....there is no debate between the two. Teaching of creationism, which says that God created the universe and hence all life, belongs in a philosophy or religion class, not a science class, and arguably not in a public school at all. The teaching of evolution in a biology class if absolutely fundamental. If you leave it out you might as well stop teaching altogether.

Evolution is a scientific theory.
Creationism is a speculation.
When you're teaching these concepts, you won't give them equal time in the classroom, because there's no direct evidence for Creationism.
