There is no evidence (at least that I have heard about) which can be used to back up the claims of creationists. The bible is definitely NOT evidence of anything.

Then my conclusion would be that either neither be taught as neither is "proof" only ideas and/or theories, or all angles be taught. Not just Christian creationism but any other creationism. Even the theories/ideas of creationism that leads to evolution.
I do like SecretMethod70's look on what the bible was/is about. It's not a book on proving science right or wrong or whether or not evolution happened the way scientists say it did, but rather a showing of the relationship between God and man.
Now on the "the bible is definitely not evidence" part, I was watching a show on either Discovery or PBS or History Channel that was talking about the "great flood" and how almost every major civilization had recorded or made mention of some great natural disaster about 5 or 6 thousand years ago. Of course I may hve been dreaming that I saw that. Sometimes my dreams have a way of coming to the forefront of my reality.
