Another possible explanation for why creationism is not allowed in science class is that it threatens the faith of many scientists.
Do you mean that science yields total certainty about its conclusions? As to the ball: You have to have faith that the ball will fall the same way every time. And that you are not imagining or mistaking the ball, the building, or the ground; that the ground and building are not imperceptibly shifting during the experiment. And that there is some value to seeking to find out how fast a ball falls. Those things are not trivial.

Theologians often claim this, but they are wrong. Scientific knowledge, by definition, eliminates faith. That is why creationism is not allowed in science class. For example, when we drop a ball from the top of a building and measure its acceleration to derive a mathematical formula that would predict the speed of a ball at different distances, this does not involve any faith at all.
