Evolution has scientific backing, it is a well excepted theory by scientists. Creationism only has the bible to go by, so scientific backing. I hope creationism is never taught in any public school. And for how it has affected our culture, I think it makes more people reject science. Because many Christians don't want it to be true they create a riff between science and religion, causing many people not to trust science. I think this is bad for society in general.
