Is there a law that says that Creationism can't be taught in schools? Would it be included in the seperation of Church and state? If anyone has any information, that would be great.

That is indeed the seperation of church and state issue. Why would anyone teach something that they can't prove?

This controversy dates back to 1633 and before when Galileo
first published his book "Dialogue" on Copernicus' theory on whether the Earth revolves around the Sun or as the Bible suggests the other way around. Even the theologians and Law thinkers are still battling it out to this very day. Laws have been passed in the Supreme Court banning the teaching of Creationism in schools which I think is a downfall that the U.S. is now reaping sown seeds.

No, there isn't such a law. HOWEVER, if you teach any religious theory you must teach them all. Of course, this is different for private schools. Otherwise you are discriminating. Yes, it is in part included in the idea of separation of the church and the state.

in some states it is a law... but in most states that law is that it has to me taught as just a theory.
