Yes, I wish I was taught the truth in school.

How would you even prove creationism? If you could, we wouldn't even be having this debate right now.

How about teaching both viewpoints? Or teaching evolution and atleast mentioning the ideas of creationism?

We can see evolution at work and how genetics change with time and diversity, but what we can't see is God's invisible hand guiding it. There is no proof for it. Absolutely nothing. I'm sorry, but that doesn't belong in any science class. It goes contrary to the entire discipline.

All science classes should be electives, except for math. I do agree that evolution should be taught in science classes.

The only required classes in school should be math, post-classical European history including the secular study of Abrahamic religions, and civics. Why is teaching Darwinian evolution to every student a good thing?

All science classes should be electives, but required classes include study of history and religion? I'm not saying history shouldn't be taught, but not requiring science in the 21st century is patently absurd. If anything, science/STEM needs to be pushed harder and taught more effectively.

It's a valid theory, supported by a pluarality of Americans.  Absolutely it needs to be taught.  It can't be proven or disproven... well it can, but not by a human!

Then God should come down here and teach us himself.
