Should creationism be taught in schools?

Creationism is the belief that the God in the Bible created the earth and the sky and all the things that live therein in six days. There has been furious debate about whether this should be taught in schools. This is especially an issue in the increasingly fundamentalist USA. Creationism is often described in opposition to evolution.

Schools cannot simply ignore creationism; it should be taught in some capacity.

Creationism should be taught as part of philosophy or religion courses

While it is not fitting for creationism to be taught along scientific fact, it should be taught in a philosophy or religion course.
