There is nothing wrong with teaching what science has no clue about, nothing. In fact, it should be emphasized more. What is more interesting than teaching about matters what remain unknown, and may remain unknown realistically speaking for our lifetimes, or for the span of the human species itself? I The key is that the issue has no scientific "answers" available, as opposed to theological answers posited as something in the realm of science.

Right, well I'm very much a layperson on virtually all things scientific, but from what I've read it seems cosmology might not have "answers" per se, but they do have some pretty well-founded estimates and observations on some of these astronomically fine-tuned constants which coincidentally were in place in the early universe and which seem requisite for life/universe as we know it. Some of these factors I guess are on the order of billions and even trillions-to-one, which apparently is outside the realm of statistical possibility. Anyway, I'm speaking loosely on this, but if I wanted to encourage the consideration of ID in schools, I'd promote more discussion of these questions in the context of science curriculum, and let the inferences and conclusions fall where they may.
