Do you really think that it is a good idea to teach intelligent...

[Obsidiantide]

absolutely not - unless you are going to also teach other creation theories from other religions along side science too.
Creationism is fine if an individual wants to believe in it - but it has no more or less validity than any other belief system and to teach it in schools would be like saying it does.
I am a witch and believe in science and Darwin's theory of evolution, because I believe science offers me sufficient proof of this.
It is irresponsible for an educational institution to teach anything other than science - religion has nothing to do with learning and to chose only one to be taught in todays multicultural and interfaith society, is shortsighted, close minded and does nothing to help promote community and friendship between those people of different races and faiths.

realistically everything is theory. No one knows 100% that one theory is right or wrong.

There no proof that man came from ape. There is a missing link that has never been found, so its a theory.

No one can prove their bible is the one and only truth.

I Dont think that there is anything wrong with teaching theorys, if they are taught as theorys and not religion.

Only if you want your children all growing up believing that Myths are Science. Ummm Mythology falls under literature.

The actual facts of creationism speak for themselves....there are many thousands of cave drawings, paintings, petroglyphs, fabrics and artifacts from around the globe that clearly show man and dinosaurs co-existed until fairly recent times. Red blood cells and soft tissue recently discovered in several T-Rex and other fossils indicate they did not go extinct 70 million years ago.
Evidence of polonium "halo's" in "Pre-Cambrian" rocks show they were formed almost instantly and not by gradual cooling over millions of years. (Halos.com) This also invalidates the supposed ages of fossils found in them and the false assumptions of radiometric dating methods.

Neo-Darwinism is based on false assumptions of long ages of time required for macro-evolution to take place when the real evidence shows otherwise.
Children should be taught the facts and let them reach a conclusion based on them.

As KiwiPete stated, many frauds, hoaxes and lies have been perpetuated for decades in the textbooks...Nebraska man, Pildown man, Java man, Lucy...Haeckel's drawings were disproved in 1915 and yet show up in some textbooks as late as 1998 as being factual. Did someone not get the memo or is there an underlying attempt to keep evolution theory alive against the facts? Are critical thinking skills taught or just an acceptance of evolution theory?

The supposed evidence for a common ancestor between apes and humans could also be construed as being designed by a Creator so that man could perform experiments on animals regarding human diseases or defects with out using human test subjects. God, in His wisdom, foresaw a need for this before creation and the fall of man into sin, disease and death. He gave us the means to conduct experiments without sacrificing human life which was made in the image of God.
