Why teach Creationism over Science

Exactly who makes that claim? Certainly no scientists I've ever come across. The entire idea of "scientific proof" is ludicrous. Science doesn't prove things. Science looks at the observable evidence (the facts), and produces testable ideas as to what is going on (the theories). The more observable evidence, the better the theory becomes (as it changes to accommodate the new data).

As it stands, there is no evidence that contradicts the theory of evolution (yet), and all available evidence supports it. Conversely, there is a lot of evidence that contradicts the ideas of creationism, and anything that can be used to support it can be used to support evolution as well. In science, we go with the theory that works the best, which in this case is evolution.
