Why teach Creationism over Science

[Justtristo]

Apart from the fundamentalists and evangelicals nearly wholesale* denial of evolution as a fact. There is something called "creation evangelism", creation evangelism works by trying to convince people that the genesis account of the origin of the universe is true. Thereby making it easier for them to accept Jesus Christ as their lord and Saviour.

This website explains in more detail why they do creation evangelism, which includes teaching Christian creationism in the schools. Note the advocates of teaching creationism in the schools have no interest in teaching other creation stories, just the Christian one.

* There are a few evangelicals who would accept evolution as a fact, however in their community they are a small minority.
