I think it's time to argue the case for teaching Creationism in schools:
It does ask difficult questions that evolution hasn't *quite* answered satisfactorily yet.
If we are interested in finding the truth, then we need to subject our best theories to as much criticism as possible. I think if evolution and creationism were taught side-by-side, each pointing out the weak points inherent in one another, children really would come away with a better understanding of both.

A curious aspect of the theory of evolution is that everybody thinks they understand it. I mean philosophers, social scientists, and so on. While, in fact, very few people actually understand it as it stands, even as it stood when Darwin expressed it, and even less as we now are able to understand it.
