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.

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.
