Creationism vs. Evolutionism
I have been asked this question before in another class. My personal belief, in a perfect world, would be to teach creationism in schools. Though I know this doesn't fly with many people, I think it would be best to explain both sides of the spectrum. By teaching both creationism and evolutionism, no one is left out. The students will be able to choose whatever they want to believe. In most major religions, creation, life, and Earth start with an all-powerful being, God. The teacher should also state that students aren't being forced to except one theory or belief over another. The teacher should probably not try to push his or her own religion onto the students, but if a student has a question that the teacher knows, the teacher should be allowed to answer the question with complete sincerity.
