This is a sad story. I have no trouble with Creationism, but to tout it as a scientific theory is a sad state of affairs. To my knowledge, there is no scientific theory of Creationism - it is solely based upon ones faith. It should not be taught in any science class. It makes sense to teach it either in a religous setting or in a class about (one or many) world religions.
Intellegent Design, on the other-hand, does appear to be a valid scientific theory. I can understand people who may want to put this into the science class. As long as there is evidence for it and it is coming from scientists and not theologins.
This PDF document entitled "Sabotaging Science: Creationist Strategy in the '90s" may be of interest to others.
I live in Wisconsin, and I don't want to see faith over-riding science. Science should be an unbiased view of our world. If evolutionary theory is wrong, it will be disproven by science itself. Not by literal interpretation of the Bible.
