I'm not in favour of creationism but really we can't just say "haha you guys are wrong stop spreading your lies" when we can't even prove the the universe wasn't created by a higher being.

Many forms of creationism are easily disproven. E.g. young earth creationism.
I'm not sure saying god created the universe qualifies as creationism.
I suppose the best shot the umbrella term 'creationism' has for pulling out the 'haha you can't disprove me 8)' card is theistic evolution.
However, the burden of proof is always on the claim itself in science. Theistic evolution is a monumental failure on that end of things, given you can easily just remove the theistic part and all of a sudden you have a real theory.
Additionally, everything I said before that still holds true; it's still not science, therefore it has no place in a science classroom.
