Creationism should not be taught alongside evolution in a science class because it is not supported by the body of scientific evidence we have. Evolution theory, imperfect hypothesis as it may be, is supported by our body of scientific evidence and is the most scientifically plausible theory presented to date. Therefore, evolution is perfectly appropriate to a science class.
Creationism, having no grounding in scientific evidence should only be taught in places like churches - where science is supplanted by faith.
