According to what I have read about Creationism they make the
claim that God implanted the species in the rocks during the
Creation. Thus there is no contradiction between what we observe
and the Bible.

I've no objection to people teaching creation, but it gets really sticky
when they start teaching 'creation science'.

What you've read may be true for a particular subset of Creationism -
but what I've come across (and find particularly objectionable) is
things that 'show' Creationism is 'true'.

"Look - A dinosaur's footprint overlapping a human one!"

If you're going to attach 'science' to a name your evidence should
be subject to scientific standards - not just faked, made up
or photoshop-doctored.

Maybe someone who's got better access to the material actually used
can provide an idea of how common this sort of 'evidence based
creationism' is.
