Krys,
I thought that as a man that championed the greek ideals of philosophy that you would jump at the ideals put forth by greek thinkers well before the birth of Christ.
In fact from a metaphysical state the most important questions include:
Where did we come from?
Where are we going?
How do I handle death?
Is there an afterlife?
In my copies of Plato, he acknoledges a creator. Socrates spent a good portion of his teachings on death.
In the purpose of education, both sides should be presented such that people can draw their own conclusions.

My best statement in this matter comes from John Milton's "Areopagitica": "Do not restrict the writing and teachings, for all that you need to do is present the truth, and it shall triumph" (Paraphrased heavily)
I believe in creationism, however, both ID and evolution should be taught to show that it is an unsettled issue.
