I simply do not understand why both sides of the debate seem to want to rob kids of this very interesting discussion! Look at all the posts these threads always generate, it's an interesting subject! Let teachers lead classroom discussion of these ideas.

This was very easily handled in every high school science class I ever had in public school by my teachers: "Here's the theory of evolution... Some people think natural selection guides these changes, some people think God does... What do you think? Discuss!"

How does that discussion advance scientific learning? Or is that not the purpose of science class?
