Yes. It provides a modern example of how superstition and religious doctrine have impeded scientific progress throughout history. It can be used to give students a feeling of what Galileo and others went through when their discoveries confronted religious dogma. A teacher can use creationism as a way of explaining just exactly what science is and why creation science does not meet the definition of a science. Side: Yes, it does.

I feel that, whilst creationism may have a place in school, a science lesson is definately not that place. It is important for people to be exposed to many different issues, but they should be taught in context. Science for science classes. Evolution is fact, and should be taught as such; creationism is a religious theory that should be mentioned in religious education classes (or something of the like). Side: science for science classes only
