Should evolution and creationism be taught side-by-side in school?

Which version of creationism? The Christian version only? Or will you include some of the Native American versions? The Hindu? Any of the African versions? Anything that comes from a religious belief does NOT belong in a science class. Now, if you want a religious studies course that touches on multiple creation stories, that's just fine. But they do not belong in, nor should they even be mentioned, in a science class.

@Lostinthefog I'm a Greek Orthodox Christian and I couldn't agree with you more.

I just don't get it. I grew up Methodist, and there was NEVER any issue with the separation of the crration story and evolution. It was easily accepted that they both worked together.

@Lostinthefog Same for me. Same for all of the Italian Catholics that I know. Same for all of the European Protestants that I know. Same for all of the Jews that I know.
