Do you think Creationism should be taught in school? If so, why? [Spirituality & Religion]

And of course i mean taught in the same way evolution is taught, not as a lesson in comparative religion.

everything should be explained to kids. but it just seems all one sided these days.. teachers just push their own political ideals onto kids

Well sure, everything should be explained to kids.
But how should it be explained?
Should teachers teach creationism along side evolution or should it be explained to kids along with norse and greek mythology?
@UnparalleledMonster: explain to the kids there is 2 trains of thought and theories, religious and nature's.. in a unbiased manner. and let them decide what sounds more feasible themselves. banning evolution or creationism is Orwellian dictator behavior. social engineering.

@theoneyouwerewarnedabout:

You're suggesting that these two idea be taught on equal scientific footing when they do not stand on equal scientific footing.
why not..
can understand religious school not teaching evolution. but public schools should remain centered and offer info to both sides.

I feel like you didn't really absorb my last post.
Evolution and creations ARE NOT on equal scientific footing.
It is important to be fair but that is NOT the same as presenting two ideas as equal when they are not.

Unless you think we should offer a centered presentation of the idea that aliens seeded life on earth vs evolution.

You follow? A balanced approach is for subjects that ARE balanced.

It's the same reason we don't teach homeopathy to med students on equal footing with real medical procedures
