What's the problem? None whatsoever as long as you keep it to yourself. However there is in America a large number of people who are trying to get the fact of evolution removed from education and replaced with the fantasy of creationism. An action that will be disastrous for the American economy in the future. Perhaps you have heard of Lysenko, he doubted genetics on ideological grounds and put forward a theory that followed soviet teachings better and managed to grease his way to the top of the biological sciences in the Soviet Union. As a result no students for 2 generations learned any useful biology and the second harvests promised by Lysenko never happened. So while the Soviet Union had many excellent scientists in rocketry or mathematics they had no useful biologists for about 40 years. America will suffer exactly the same fate, the biological sciences in America will wither and other nations will steal any lead America might have if creationism is allowed a foothold. In the Soviet Union this attitude caused the death by starvation of many people, I doubt that America would face the same but if the lie of creationism is forced into schools then famine is possible.
