The question I asked:

Teach only evolution, teach only creationism, teach both evolution and creationism. Do not teach evolution and do not teach creationism.

Which idea do you agree with? Please explain why. Many thanks.

This would be my answer: Of course teach evolution because it's the strongest and most important fact of science. Magical creationism should not be taught anywhere because teaching ridiculous nonsense is child abuse.

"Creation science has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand exactly why it is false. What could be more destructive of that most fragile yet most precious commodity in our entire intellectual heritage -- good teaching -- than a bill forcing honorable teachers to sully their sacred trust by granting equal treatment to a doctrine not only known to be false, but calculated to undermine any general understanding of science as an enterprise?"
-- Stephen Jay Gould
