Yes. Creation "science" is not science at all. Science is the method by which a conclusion is drawn based on observations. Creationists already have their conclusion, and interpret select observations based on that conclusion. Creation "science" has no actual scientific backing.
Answer 2
No. Creationism is perfectly valid as a historical example of the relationship between faith and science, and what happens when dogma becomes more important than the basis for the belief itself. Creationism should of course be much restricted from the science classes, as it is not scientific at all, but it has had a decent impact in religious studies/theology, history, social studies, law..

It may be more suitable for discussion in courses on religion or philosophy.

Should creationism be taught in public schools?
Absolutely - it should be taught in classes pertaining to religion. There are many forms of creationism from many different religions. I think it is important for children to know about religions and creationism is part of the beliefs of some religious groups. I do not think it should be 'taught' but children should be taught of it. (There is a difference) That is just my opinion though and I respect the opinions of anybody who disagrees with me. And I encourage them to add their opinions. As for teaching young earth creationism or intelligent design in science class - absolutely not. Neither belief has a shred of empirical evidence to back them up, are untestable, unfalsifiable, and unable to make predictions - therefore, they are categorically unscientific in nature.

So if creationism is taught in public school, then it must be taught in comparative religion or philosophy classes, and not in biology classes.
