How is Creation vs. Evolution even an argument? It's like apples to oranges. Evolution doesn't have anything to do with the creation of the Earth, or that we even "came from Apes." Only that we have a comman ancestor with the ape family and that the Earth and the species change over time. Sure, it might be stepping on some creationists toes but religious beliefs still do not belong in a science classroom.
Which brings up the point of how to teach creationism in a classroom. Do we bust out only the Bibles? Or do we have to teach EVERY creation myth of EVERY religion? It's a can of worms that I honestly don't think will ever be opened, it is only a way of sneaking Bibles back into public schools. Frankly, if my children were ever taught creationism in a
science classroom I would have some palaver with the school board, but then again isn't that what the religious people are doing with evolution? ...Can of worms.
Besides, if evolution is "just a theory", what does that make creationism?

Student: "How did he do that?"
Teacher: "
POOF!"
