Darwin first published his ideas on evolution in 1859. It was one of the first works that went against the idea that God created the world according to the Bible. This made people wonder if the bible was right, or if Darwin was right. Since creationism has nothing to do with any subject in school we should not teach it in school.

If the government wants to keep religion out of school, shouldn't we listen to them? Our country has had the same constitution for 227 years. When a country has had the same government for this long we are doing something right. We have laws for a reason and they should be followed. It will be a big mistake to let creationism be taught in schools. We have a right to pick...
