Should creationism be taught in schools?

I say NO...NO...NO!(Amy Whinehouse!) But anyway, as a Biology major, it is clear that Creationism is not science what so ever. Evolution is science. I feel that many uneducated americans( yes I'm being elitist) don't understand evolution. Evolution does not strive to explain the origin of life, nor does it in anyway try and kick God out the conversation. Evolution explains how life has become so diverse over the billions of years our planet ha existed. If you are able to take a biology cl at a community college, I highly suggest you take it before you p judgment on this issue. Evolution is not farfetched or completely bogus, nor does it take away any purpose in human life. And for those believers out there, you can tell your kids about Theistic Evolution at home, which simply states that God created life but his mechanism for creating humans and diverse life is through evolution and natural selection. Creationism/Intelligent Design can't be taught in schools because it has no scientific evidence at all. You have no empirical evidence for God creating everything at once, or there being an designer who created the Cell flagellum. Its not science, so keep it out of science clrooms. These are just my reasons as to why not to teach creationism in schools. What do you all think?
