Evolution is not faith based. It is the basis for modern biology.

Creationism, on the other hand, involves the supernatural and requires a tremendous amount of faith on the ancient scriptures.

Evolution refers to man's body.............. Creation refers to man's soul.

Is it possible both sides are right ?

It's possible that divine intervention was involved in the evolution of humans or in the bestowing of a "soul", however neither explanation is scientific in nature (because it attempts to address supernatural events) and neither should be presented as such.

If creation only referred to man's soul, then, yes, it is possible. But, there is absolutely no evidence for it not there ever will be. We are talking about supernatural here. Cannot substantiate it either way.

So, it does not belong in a science class. I think the whole point of the opponents of intelligent design is that supernatural stuff do not belong in a science class. It doesn't matter if 80% of Americans believe in it. It wouldn't matter if 100% believe in it. It simply does not involve science.
