One major issue with Creationism (or Intelligent Design, or whatever variant you want to take) is that it's competing, in large part, against the wrong theory.
The scientific theory for the origin of life is NOT Darwin's theory of evolution. It's the theory of abiogenesis, most commonly known about from the experiments of Urey and Miller. That's the part that contradicts the Creation of life.
Completely aside from that, I agree that if Creation were taught as literature and myth, it would be fine. The instant it even HINTS at being taught in science curricula, it's out of bounds and needs eviction.
