What are your stances on creation and evolution? Which should be taught in school and if you think it's imporant, at which levels of instruction?

I think both deserve to be taught, but probably it can't be done within a public school. it would be interesting to have creationalism be taught as a class...all religions of the world's stance on how the world has been created. That would be cool.
If you're talking what's my particular belief, well ...to me both sides take just as much of an amount of faith.

I chose to teach them both in the same class because I think it offers a chance for the students to make their own private comparisions while learning the "truths" of each theory.  |

As a science, evolution. But the idea of a theology course on creation stories is a good one. Actually, I've seen it offered before. |

Oh yeah? Did they teach from various religious ideas or just from one religion?

I chose neither because when you say evolution, I assume you mean speciation, and possibly the big-bang theory, both of which deserve some discussion and thought, but should not be taught as scientific facts. Make the theories available, but let people make up their own minds as to how the world was formed, and how man came about.
