To Teach, or Not to Teach, Creationism
The Anglican Church says no:
"I think creationism is, in a sense, a kind of category mistake, as if the Bible were a theory like other theories," the archbishop, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, told The Guardian. "Whatever the biblical account of creation is, it's not a theory alongside theories. It's not as if the writer of Genesis or whatever sat down and said, 'Well, how am I going to explain all this?'"
"For most of the history of Christianity, there's been an awareness that a belief that everything depends on the creative act of God is quite compatible with a degree of uncertainty or latitude about how precisely that unfolds in creative time," he told The Guardian.
"For that matter," he said, "it's not even the same as saying that Darwinism is the only thing that ought to be taught. My worry is that creationism can end up reducing the doctrine of creation rather than enhancing it."
Creationism can end up reducing the doctrine of creation. For reasons why, check out Dr. John Walton's sermon, Why Didn't God Call the Light, Light?. The Genesis account of creation is far more interested in the purpose of the universe than it is in the material construction of the universe. Boiling the whole thing down to just an argument over physical construction misses the point entirely.
