When I grew up in Germany, religion was taught in the public schools. In religion class, we were taught about God, and thus about creation. In biology we were taught about evolution. There was no problem. I didn't learn about the enmity between "creationists" and "evolutionists" until I came to the US.
To the anti-evolutionists:
Your argument seems to hinge exclusively on your belief that the bible supposedly says the earth is only 6000 years old. Please consider that this belief may be flawed. Talk to the vast majority of language experts who have gone over the original text and concluded that this interpretation is incorrect.
To the anti-creationists:
Your argument seems to hinge exclusively on your belief that there is no god. Please consider that it is not possible to scientifically prove a negative. You may argue that there is no god with attributes that you decide he must have, if you were to accept her existence. But that's the classic strawman argument.
