In teaching kids that creationism is wrong, you just told them God doesn't exist. No your not. That's what I just got through explaining. "Creationism" doesn't equal God, or belief in God, or the idea that God created the universe. "Creationism", at least in the context of the debate between "creationists" and "evolution supporters", typically means belief that God created the universe pretty much as it is today, with the life on Earth also being pretty much as it is today (with the exceptions of extinctions and perhaps a limited degree of "micro-evolution"). If you start with the assumption that creationism is false - You can still believe that God exists, and that he created the universe, and that he caused life on Earth to start (even that he directly created life on Earth, not just that he set up some process that would cause it to happen). The only thing you reject by assuming "creationism is false" is the idea that life did not evolve over time.
