Poll: Should creationism be taught alongside evolution in schools?
We were taught creationism in Religious Studies, as well as alternative theories, like evolution. Our RS lessons were bevery balanced, and never told us what to believe or not, instead explaining the arguments for and against both theism and atheism, so we could make an informed decision for ourselves, which I think was great. I don't think it should be taught in Science, as it isn't backed up by scientific reaseach, but it should be in Religion lessons, as long as students are told that it may not have been written to be taken literally, like it could have been a metaphor, or symbolic. They should teach both fundamentalist and liberal views about it.
