My anthropology class got a nice 6 hour block (across two classes) covering various theories about how we came to be. Basically, the professor told us that evolution is not a perfect theory, and doesn't explain 100% of what happens, but that combined with other factors, it fits almost perfectly and satisfies Occham's razor (simplest answer is probably right.) Basically, the course material allowed us to make the logical conclusion that creationism, while still a widely held theory, does not make nearly as much sense as evolution/natural selection. Other theories like punctuated equilibrium and catastrophism were given equal time and debunked accordingly.
