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.
