I Think Creationism Should Be Taught In All Schools

In my opinion, I think it should be taught in all schools. But I don't think that everyone should be forced to believe it. I mean, having a little knowledge in what religions believe couldn't hurt but just for the sake of knowing, not being forced to believe it.

@Serenitree Creation is the idea that the Earth was created in six days, only six thousand years ago, as the Bible describes it. Meanwhile, Intelligent Design is the watered down version that teaches everything was created with a purpose by an intelligent designer (it does not mesh with evolution).

Deism is the only option that supports the creation of the universe the way that scientists know it happened, while supporting an all-powerful deity. People who are deists generally believe that the world is simply too complex to have happened on its own, but find organized religion and its ideas to be hogwash. However, since there is no proof of any all-powerful deity, deism (and creation/ID) will not be taught in public school science classes. If a student wants to learn about them on their own time, they can do independent study, or take an unrelated/college course on them.
