Thoughts on teaching Creation in school...

Although I'm from the UK this issue is rearing its head in British schools.

This issue all boils down to what creationism is taught as:

As theology taught in religeous education classes I have few problems with it as long as it is not taught as dogma but merely what some peole believe.

As a science; I have a big problem with it.

Mainly because creationism (or Intelligent Design as creationists often call it) is simply not science and therefore has no place in the science classroom. Evolution on the other hand is; and there is overwhelming evidence for it.
