If creationism should be taught in school, isn't it only fair that the creation myths of other religions and african and native american tribes be taught as well? They are equally scientific.
I think it is important to understand when we are talking about education that if you are going to have a career in the sciences, especially in biology. you don't have to believe in evolution, but you do have to be competent in it. It is just such a fundimental concept in science comparable to the atomic model in chemistry and plate tectonics in geology. Evolution is vital to the current scientific understanding of biology, and that is something that creationism in any form cannot claim.
I think that people who call themselves creation scientists know it isn't a science otherwise they would get into the textbooks the proper way, by proving themselves to science. They don't even try to get their research published in legitimate science journals, I doubt they even have research to publish. Continental drift wasn't accepted when it was first proposed. Did they cry to school boards that their idea deserved to be in textbooks? No! They had to wait until the mid-oceanic ridges were discovered and proved that the continents were infact moving. You get into the schools by the science, not the other way around.
