And this too:

As far as the question relating to whether I believe Creationism or evolution should be taught in schools, I would have to say both…sort of. I firmly agree with why evolution is and should continue being taught in schools today. Evolution has been scientifically proven true to exists. Given certain environments a species is put in, it will evolve or change to adapt to that environment. Ok so that’s a fact, so teach it! Creationism, although I believe is more of an opinion then anything, should be given as an option to the students as well. Like Vince stated, if part of education is to teach students not to always take the face value and that students should always challenged and question what is given to them, then how can they do so if only one option is brought up. Students need to be able to decipher for themselves what they believe is to be true. I agree with others that Creationism really shouldn’t be discussed to full detail only because education is based on what is factual and not what one’s opinions are, but all sides to an argument should and needs to be acknowledged at some point.
