When Creationism has as much evidence supporting it as evolution, then it should be taught. However, seeing as the foundation for the idea of creationism is based in the bible, a document written about 300 BC by ancient authors who did not even know about fossils, or even microorganisms. Therefore, how can creationism get a forum in today's public schools? we do not learn the possibility that the greek gods exist. Those are supported by a far greater supply of ancient documents than creationism. This is because it is not supported by any evidence.

I think the main point is that sunday school is a private organization and therefore should be left up to it's founders. Seeing that public school is forced by law, only untainted ideas should be reported. the Theory of evolution is supported by objective data, not emotional religious ideas
However, the theory of evolution represents a much more viable and widely accepted explanation of the phenomena. Whereas creationism is not. Also, if a child attends sunday school, or church, the organization should be charged with teaching the child its private views. Because creationism is a religious idea, public schools should not be subjected to it, separation of church and state.

if you go to church why do you need the public school to tell you?
