Comment Creationism is not science... (Score 1) 916
Religion and science both make claims of how the world works, incompatible claims about the same reality but based on different standards of evidence and modes of argument. There is a clear conflict between demanding good evidence and being satisfied with bad evidence or no evidence at all.
The scientific method which hinges on empirical findings and remains subject to falsification, cannot be applied to creationism therefore should not be taught along side science. If creationism were to be taught in school it would fall along the lines of philosophy, not science.
