Creationism is a fact, you are choosing to not believe it. It is supported by the facts in the Bible, which is divinely inspired.
That is so pathetically funny. Of course your argument is precisely why the teaching of creationism is so patently unconstitutional, not to mention down right stupid.

Not a thing that I can think of, widely accepted or not.
until scientist can reproduce evolution I will not acept it as a fact but mearly a theory just like creationism and there is where we are teach both as theories not as facts
Here you go.

"For the first time, scientists have synthesized RNA enzymes – ribonucleic acid enzymes also known as ribozymes - that can replicate themselves without the help of any proteins or other cellular components."
"What’s more, these simple nucleic acids can act as catalysts and continue the process indefinitely."
"Since he and colleague Tracey Lincoln first succeeded in creating this artificial genetic system that can undergo self-sustained replication and evolution last year, the molecules have changed dramatically as they evolve better and better solutions."

On another note, if you really want to get into it, a scientific theory is one that can be DISproved, not necessarily that it is widely accepted by the scientific community and heavily supported by facts. Obviously, we cannot disprove the existence of God, so you're correct in saying that it's not an actual theory. However, it is widely accepted by most Americans as fact, and there's something to say about that.
In no way has the idea of creation or the Bible been proved.
As we have not disproved God ( yet) it has not been proven either, but there is far more evidence to support no god than a god.
Creationism is more appropriate for Sunday school for those who are so inclined. Science class, uh no. I will not be having my kids listen to those fairy tales when they are supposed to be learning something.
If those arguing that evolution hasn't been proven, or is "only a theory like creation is" would just read the links provided (or the responses themselves that put it all in simple words) this thread would stop spinning in circles. It's like every couple of hours a new creationist comes in and repeats the same old nonsense that has already been addressed. It's not even the question of whether it should be taught or not, it's that they don't understand what SCIENTIFIC THEORY means, or what PROOF OF EVOLUTION means. It's hard to have a discussion when people don't even understand the topic.

So true, but lets not forget, for some people, ignorance is bliss.

You can't use the Bible to prove the Bible...logic 101.

It's both. I posted a Wiki earlier if you want to read that. And so far nobody has disproven it. That's got to tell you something.

Actually it's not all that widely accepted but of those who do accept it it's mostly American fundamentalists, people who can't think for themselves, people who don't want to think for themselves, people who don't know how to answer polls, people who don't understand science and want to feel smarter than those who do, and people who want to appear "christian" just in case someone is watching. Also a high number of folks who never went to college, which explains a lot.
Sounds like the argument the church used against Galileo when he proposed that the earth revolved around the sun instead of the other way around as stated in the bible.
If the authors of the biblical creation story knew what we scientifically know now, I bet they would have written the story differently. It is obvious that the creation story was written by someone with primitive knowledge.
So, you're saying that God has primitive knowledge? You're so silly.
Yes, it was written by men, but the Holy Spirit told them what to write.
