Yes, the tradition of Creation by God goes all the way back to the first man, passed down in an uninterrupted chain of teachers and disciples, and recorded in the Torah by Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24) at God's dictation (Exodus 24:12).
The Creationism-movement, however, is very recent.
What else can I help you with?
Do you think that Evolution and Creationism should be taught in school?
Evolution is a widely accepted scientific theory supported by extensive evidence, and should be taught in science classes. Creationism, however, is based on religious beliefs and is not supported by scientific evidence, so it is not appropriate to be taught in a science classroom. It may be more suitable for discussion in courses on religion or philosophy.
How come creationism isn't taught in public schools?
Creationism IS taught in public schools. There are many forms of creationism taught in mythology classes. Creationism, itself, is explored in philosophy classes. Biblical creation is taught in English and literature classes. Musical interpretations of Genesis are taught in music classes. Creationism is not taught in science classes because it is not supported by any scientific evidence whatsoever. It makes no verifiable predictions. It also has no practical application.
Why is creationism not taught in schools?
The United States Supreme Court has defined creationism as a religious hypothesis, which should be taught only as part of religious education. It is not permitted to be taught in science courses.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Should public schools teach creationism alongside evolution in science classes?
No. Teaching creationism alongside evolutionary theory would suggest that they are equivalent explanations. They are not. Evolutionary theory is a well-established scientific model; creationism is a religious myth, and should be taught as such.
What percentage of people believe both creationism and evolution should be taught?
In academic circles, this would amount to less than 36% of biology majors who state that evolutionary theory should not be taught exclusively. This figure includes majors at religious colleges. Outside of academic circles, this figure drops: about 60% of the general populace in the US think that evolutionary theory should be countered by the teaching of some creation myth.

Is creationism taught in Ohio public schools?
Creationism is not taught in Ohio public schools as part of the science curriculum. It may be taught in a cultural or sociological classroom setting, depending on the teacher or school. Only evolution is taught as a scientific theory for the origin of life in biology/science classes.
Should evolution and creationism be taught side by side in school?
Most certainly not side-by-side. That would imply that they are equivalent notions. Evolution, however, is a scientific theory, and creationism is religious myth. Evolution belongs in biology classes, creationism in something like comparative religion courses.

Why creationism shouldn't be taught in school?
Creationism can and should be taught in a sociology classroom setting, but not in a science classroom like some people want it to be. The reason for this is that creationism is not a scientific theory or even principle, it's part of cultural mythology.
When was creationism taught in public schools?
Biblical creation was taught as fact in United States public schools until the latter part of the nineteenth century, because it was simply assumed that the Bible explained what really happened. From the late nineteenth century until the 1920s, the Theory of Evolution was accepted in the United States more or less without comment, and slowly began to be taught in schools. Then, in the early 1920s, a number of southern state legislatures began to pass legislation banning the teaching of evolution in public schools. It was the Tennessee law that was challenged in the infamous Scopes Trial of 1921, leading to creationism being withdrawn from public school science curriculums.The teaching of creationism having been found to be unconstitutional, attempts were then made over the following decades to have creationism taught alongside evolution, to rebadge creationism as 'science' in order to satisfy constitutional requirements, and to place stickers in science textbooks, to undermine acceptance of evolution and draw attention to creationism. All these attempts appear to have failed.For more information on the creationism debate, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What does creationism mean?
According to Wikipedia, Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity (often the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) or deities.Initially, Creationism developed as a response by a minority of Christians to the Theory of Evolution. Its advocates attempted to have Creationism taught, in US schools, in science classes as a valid alternative to evolution. The courts blocked this attempt, on the grounds that Creationism is a topic of religion and to teach it in science classes would breach the separation of church and state.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

What is the current status of the teaching of evolution and creationism?
Most western nations have a policy of separation of church and state, meaning that it is illegal to conduct religious indoctrination in public schools. That means that while evolution often is a part of the biology curriculum, teaching creationism as if it were true is illegal in state funded schools.
