It isn't taught as fact at most (if any) public schools. Some of us are working diligently to make sure that only science is taught in science classrooms.

Where did you get this information? Creationism is NOT taught in American schools as fact, not ANYWHERE in the US. As a matter of fact, some school in (I think it was) Virginia was sued because they put a sticker on science books stating that evolution was just a theory, and that if the students wanted to know about the creation account, they could find it in the Bible, which was in the library.
People go NUTS if a teacher teaches creationism.
I went to elementary school in a tiny town in South Carolina, and I wasn't even taught the creation account.

Just because kids are learning certain topics in school that you don't agree with doesnt make it wrong.
I think that BOTH creationism and "scientology" should be taught at school. School is a place to expand our minds so kids won't grow up to become narrowminded fools....much like the majority of the population of adults today
Teaching kids BOTH sides allows them to decide for themselves what they wish to believe. Not only is brain washing prevented, but also EXPANSION of the mind. Countless people who are apart of the Creationism vs. Evolution debate barely know about or care about wat they are debating against.
If both sides took the time to learn, open their minds to new ideas, allow opportunity to change, then the debate wouldn't be as violent as it is.
I have witnessed many debates and I cant help but think that rather than "searching for the truth", the debate comes down to pride. The first to step down loses. If you stop debating you are a loser. I am right and you are wrong. Ha Ha.
I myself have attended church (protestant) as a kid for 2-3 years. I have also been to Islamic, muslim, hindu, and budhist temples/mosques. I am now 18 and have chosen no religion.
I believe in God, not religion.
I also believe that both sides of the debate are true.
Maybe God did create the universe....maybe EVOLUTION was also apart of his plan. We don't know for sure...there aren't any SOLID facts. Creationism uses a book written 2000 years ago and Evolutionism uses SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY that is constantly changing year to year, month to month. Both sides have could be right, or both sides could be wrong. Maybe there's a third "--ism" that hasnt even been considered yet.
Who knows...we're only human.

It's not so much the fact that Darwinist are "against" creationism so much as the fact that we're amazed at how hard creationist and "true believers" work to keep themselves ignorant in the face of overwhelming evidence. I can't help but think that god would frown upon those that intentionally chose to make themselves stupid.

You are out of your mind if you think creationism is taught in our schools. A huge stink is made whenever anyone tries to question Darwinism here.
Nevermind the fact that more hoaxes than you can shake a stick at have been perpetuated in the name of evolution, nevermind that evolution is the pride and joy of eugenicists... any disparraging comment against Evolution is taken as a sign of the speaker's backwoods idiocy (as evidenced by your unicorns and fairies comment)
If you're interested in learning something beyond what you've been told to think, check out the links below - especially the one about social darwinism. I think you'll find it enlightening.
Or you can just continue to bash people who's views you don't understand, it's your perrogative really.

I believe the creation theory and evolution go hand in hand. Moses wasnt talking about a 24 hour period when he said,"On the 1st day...", the sun wasn't even created until the 4th day.God wasn't sitting on earth watching the sun go up and down on those days. It is said many times in the bible that,"to God a single day is many years". Actually,I think Genesis is the easiest book of the bible to get.

Like CeCe, I attanded school in South Carolina. My science teachers, J.R. Martin and W.E. Henderson taught many things as theory, evolution being one, also big-bang , relativity, cell formation, mental character flaws, there are a few more but it was long ago and I think I just proved one is not a theory.

The ultimate court docket outlawed the coaching of creationism in technology classification in some aspects of usa of america. do not recognize which ones nonetheless. this is my opinion that evolution and creationism shouldn't learn at college in any respect.
