Neither Theory has ever been proved. No one is around who saw it happen. Isn't it better to present the arguments on both sides and allow the student to decide which he believes in. Isn't this what choice is all about?

I don't think either one should be presented as fact as long as they are theories they should be presented as such.

All religions not just Judeo-Chiristian religions have a creation veiw

Recently, within the past ten years Evolutionists stated that they had discovered that all DNA could be traced back to a single female. This is something we ignorant creationists have been teaching for centuries. Glad to see you finally caught up.

Separation of Church and State? The government shall not promote one religeon over another. Religeon = A system of beleifs. Atheism is a system of beleifs. Evolution promotes Atheism. It also promotes Racism. Many times I have heard people say that the reason a certain group is the way they are is because they haven't evolved as far as another group has.

Absolutely. Science and investigation should never be "artificially" limited, especially by politics or belief.
Edit: I can see many comments that creationism is either disproved or a myth.
Comment. the scientific term you should be using is a Hypothesis. Creationism has NOT been disproved. Until it is [if ever], it is still a "potential" answer to the facts about universal creation.

1- Because creationism is a religous teaching that promotes only the western religons. Yes all religons have a creation story but the story is not the same, some arent even close to what the western religon explanation is.
2- Evolution has been proven - go buy a science book.
For the last time not everyone in this country is christian, jewish or muslim - there are a lot of other well establised and even older religons out there and unless you want our creation stories crammed down your childrens throat in 2nd grade dont expect us to listen to yours.

Evolution is a fact. It's observed today. The only aspect to it that is theoretical is the exact evolutionary path.
Creationism is philosophical. I have no problem with it being taught in a philosophy class, not a science class.

Evolution is based on Science and should be taught in Science class. Creationism is based on the Judeo-Christian religions and could be taught in Philosophy or Religion along with the Aboriginal Dreamtime, Native American religions, Greek and Roman Mythology, etc. etc.

It's not about presenting two sides of an argument. We have science on one side and religion on the other. The evidence that creationism is wrong is insurmountable.
by definition neither theories have been proven, if they had they would be fact not theories. Creationism has however been disproven - you don't see the danger in present ideology as fact?

OK but I get to teach a great Spagetti Monster created the universe too. You need to confine religious teachings and Christian fundamentalist doctrine to ........ church and sunday school. This is not scientific its religion. There is more than 2 sides to this issue.

Evolution has been proven, I believe, in several experiments in remote islands of the Atlantic and Pacific in recent times. It has also been shown that animals do adapt to change very quickly here in Australia with the cane toad episode. Creationism is a purely a Hebraic religion based theory, takes no account of any other religious belief, and has no basis in fact.

Ever heard of separation of church and state? Besides, only an idiot or a religiously brainwashed moron would believe creationism... we live in the 21st centry people.

Creationism and evolution go hand-in-hand. If someone doesn't believe in evolution, go to the Galapagos Islands. If you want to study creationism, do it through your place of worship. As for me, it starts near the beginning where it says that all were created in 6 days....It doesn't say it was done in consecutive days. That opens the door for evolution theories. Yeah, teach both, and may your rationale & conscience be your guides.

No. We don't insist that evolution be taught in Bible Study, so what makes you think creationism has any place in a serious science class?
