Topic Should creationism be taught in schools?

It is pretty hard to debate an issue as complex as this one. A forum of sex stories is a very odd place for this particular debate. That said a couple of thoughts:
Seperation of Church and State - One of the most incorrectly used phrases in the Bill of Rights.
I am always amazed when people say "which form of Creationsim will they teach?". As if there is only one form of Evolutionary theory? That is just not solid critical thinking to not see both sides.
For a country founded on Judeo-Christian values to remove it from its schools is a stunning departure and one that will not end well should it occur as intended by the NEA. (Union of teachers in the USA)
I really liked the point someone made here about standardized bubble tests. Evolution is now taught a certain way and it is drilled into heads a certain way. No ability to free think really exists in schools today. Those with differing views are shut down quickly. My own son is among them.
The facts are that the evolution theory will evolve, pardon the pun, over time. And that is telling.
Not a complete list but a few thoughts as I read the 3 pages.
