Creationism/Evolution

The scientific theory of evolution states that all life forms today have developed from a single cell, or a few different cells. Creationist believe that life on Earth just happened, and that humans did not evolve, but appeared as we look today. People believing in creationism think that the theory of evolution is false and that the scientist that are coming up with the facts are "anti-God." The Creationist think that if students are taught the theory of evolution, it would interfere with the religious beliefs of how the Bible interprets the Divine Creation of man. The schools should provide a class as an elective where both topics are discussed and let sudents decide on their own, with parental consent. I personally believe in the Evolution theory, because they have based it on the scientific method, and it has some kind of proof. I am not saying that Creationism is wrong, it's just a little harder for me to rely on something that is based on belief.
