By the teaching of creationism , do you mean taught as a direct counter to the ToE ? and in science lessons ? and how would the issue that creationism does not follow standard scientific methods of tests/ proofs/ evidence and that its does not stand up to normal scientific peer testing , in short its not scientific . thus it would always look out of place and context in a science lesson .
Further , is not creationism already taught in schools in the religious studies lessons ? ?
and if you are putting up creationism against evolution should not religious studies lessons also teach evolution as a alternative to any creation part of any religion being looked at ?? and thus be used as a teaching tool to show how religions are false ( if they are ) ?
