This statistic tells the public that creationism is not very popular. Teachers who teach creationism run the risk of being ridiculed for the way they teach their students. Some science teachers don't even know what to teach in class and are overwhelmed with their work. This is just one reason why many biology professors and others are against creationism. There are also many different laws regarding creationism. The United States Supreme Court ruled that it was... in the middle of a paper... The battle is intensifying in America's public schools.
