- I think it should. If you are going to teach one theory, teach the other. People need to be educated.
What would you teach?
When you learn about evolution, you learn about homologies, embryonic development, analogies, uniformity of DNA, the fossil record, vestigial organs, case studies like peppered moths, etc.
What do you have to support creationism, to teach from a scientific perspective?
And how could you teach about "creationism" when every religion has a unique creation story and differing beliefs about the world?
Additionally, evolution and creationism don't have to contradict each other

- The Evolution theory is not just the simple fact that we've evolved from alien monkeys. Far from it actually.
I believe in evolution creationism. I believe that a Creator created our world but through evolution. Religion and science can co-exist, they are both the expression of human knowledge, you just have to move past the stereotypes. I got ''lectured'' by someone once because I told her that I believe both in creation and evolution. She called everything from bad Christian to stupid for it.
There is no rule that says you must be an atheist to accept evolution.
