Creationism is perfectly fine for those who want to
believe it, but to get it taught in public schools
as science is insane.  We might as well give equal
time to people who believe that we were created
by Martians in the year 1973 and our memories have
just been implanted in us.  It would be perfectly
alright in America to believe that, but nobody would
give it equal time in public schools.  The same
thing applies to creationism, no matter how widely
it is accepted.  Teaching children two different
things would confuse them.  Evolution is widely
accepted by scientists and has a great deal of
evidence to support it, so it is taught as science.
