Did you mean to say "I must agree that teaching creationism in the schools...?"
Creationism is one of those things that I just do not understand.
I would go so far as to say that Creationism, as I understand it to be presented, is largely not what the Bible actually says. According to my reading.
My opinion on this subject is that what can be demonstrated through inerrant repeatable experimentation and observation ought to be treated and taught as Science. What may be perfectly valid guesswork based on those observations ought to be clearly identified as such. And Creationism is better suited for a Philosophy class... unless you can come up with a testable hypothesis from it.
