That is more than one class in the K-12 level can/should offer. Just take a look at how many religions are out there. List of religions and spiritual traditions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The thread did not specify...but yes I think that creationism should be taught in American public schools as the truth.
For schools in other countries, no.

You just don't get it, and I don't blame you, its a crazy thing to comprehend and this is why you need to do your own independent research if you want to truly understand it because other people can explain it better than me (except I doubt you will do your research since you only skimmed over the last article I posted, doubt you'll actually read a book to inform yourself). The big bang, created space and time, there really wasn't anything before it. If you want to know more I suggest you start reading, because I'm not doing your homework for you, because you are to lazy to do it yourself.

Exactly,

This site alone has 43 very distinct, and different creation myths.

A large group of links to Creation Myths from a variety of cultures from around the world...

Could you imagine the class length?

Which ones right?

Abrahams God created the world in 7 days? The Aztec great God created 4 other Gods that created the world and everything in it? Or how about the feather serpent who sat down and decided there needed to be a world?

Thats just three very rough stories, imagine another 40, or even more.

This is the right response.

I wish schools would concentrate on teaching reading, writing and arithmetic.

History would also be good.
