teaching evolution & creation science in public schools...

I am interested in soliciting opinions from ASA membership regarding the
teaching of evolution vs. creation science/creationism in American public
schools. Some questions to consider...

As "scientists teaching in the Christian perspective" how do you personally
handle teaching evolution, which most view as being in direct opposition to
the origins of life as outlined by the Bible?

What SHOULD be taught in public schools? Creationism? Evolution? Or a
combination of both?

Is there a way to present creationism in a non-biased, non-partisan way which
will not be misinterpreted by public school administration as forcing certain
religious views upon students?

Is it a violation of the First Amendment to teach creationism in
governmentally funded public schools? Do you view this as an issue of the
"separation of church and state?"

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated... thanks...
