I personally believe in evolution, but I am curious to hear about what you all think.

No, not at all. Religion is a choice we should be able to make, not forcefully taught.

Absolutely!
Of course, I believe in the theory of creation, but not evolution.
However, since I wasn't there when "everything began" I can't say for sure.
I've seen some REALLY OLD science teachers, but I don't think that any of them have irrefutable proof of one way or the other.
Both versions (evolution and creation) are just theories. They can't be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. If you teach one, how can you say the other can't be taught?
I think the biggest reason people have against teaching creationism in the classroom is that they think it's supporting religion - but then again, they won't admit that supporting evolution is, in itself, supporting another religion. It's saying that the atheist and/or agnostic belief system is correct because of the lack of a "supreme being" that could create such a thing...

Which creationism theory?? There are many, not just the Christian one. I believe religion should be left out of public schools. Most wars in human history have been fought because of religion, including what's going on in Iraq.

ABSOLUTELY NOT
Creationism is religious dogma- appropriate for religious studies but NOT to be touted as Science.
Evolution is Basic Science.
I personally have Never understood why religionists cannot accept the idea that if GOD did create Everything- why would he not have created evolution? it makes good scientific sense.
the same question regarding the age of the world comes to mind- Who is to say that one of their "GOD's Days" couldnt have been millineum of human timescale?
keep science in school and religion out of it. they each have their own place

I believe evolution is intelligent design. Tolerance and a smattering of thought of all viewpoints should be taught to our children. Science may present evidence and children should also be encouraged to share there thoughts on where we came from. Inspire thought.

No. School should be for real education. The other stuff can be covered in Sunday school or at home.
