Of course Creationism should be taught in schools! It's the only theory on the origins of reality that has evidence to support it. We could teach evolution in public schools, but it would take forever to teach all of the facts that refute it.

Of course, sir! Creationism, 101, right this way.
You see, in the beginning there was Ra...
(Whisperwhisper)
What? Oh... Zeus and his mighty pantheon...
(Whisperwhisper)
Allah?
(Whisper)
Vishnu?
(Whisper)
The Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Psshh. Like anyone would believe that 'Yahweh' crap.
Kinda like proving pye's wrong. You can't. Nothing creationist have come up with has been valid.
C'mon, one 'fact' against it.
And for grade school purposes they only teach the basics.
By the time you graduate wood-shop you've spent forty times more on that and you're still useless at it,
And if we're teaching creationism then you're using Genesis and you could spend ten semestors on "the facts that refute it." on Noahs Ark alone!
You know...I do think creationism should be taught in school. In fact, I say teach it using equal time. Teach real evolution half the year, then spend the next half of the year teaching "creationism". And I mean....all of it. Seeing how each Native American tribe each had their own version, and each of the something like 10,000 religions also have their own version, that would come to about two minutes in class teaching about "in the beginning....".
"It's the only theory on the origins of reality that has evidence to support it"
Firstly, why do creationists constantly seem to think that evolution is in any way related to the origins rather than the development and diversification?
Secondly, what evidence - their idea of evidence is simply pointing out minor holes in science and gleefully declaring it proof of God.
You can teach creationism in public school science classes right after we can teach evolution and modern science in every Sunday school class.....it's only fair to 'teach both sides' everywhere, right? You ok with that? You wouldn't want the kids to get a skewed worldview, would you?
And who says your creation myth is the correct one? Oh, of course, YOU do...

...so much for the separation of church and state.
"it would take forever to teach all of the facts that refute it."
Yeah, you're right. It is really damn hard to truly explain the concept of nothing.
Evolution. It's a theory. Theory means evidence has been found supporting it.
Creationism. It's a hypothesis. No solid evidence has been found supporting it.
Methinks someone got confussled.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
