Wouldn't it be exciting for students if both theories were taught in the classroom?
Just say YES. :)
YES! I've seen the light.
Just funnin' ya.
The problem we face is that there are not two theories. There is a scientific theory and a religious belief.
The scientific theory relies on naturalism, the religious belief relies on supernaturalism.
A further problem: there are multiple religious/supernatural beliefs; I know you have yours and hold it firm, but others do so as well. And still others do not believe in the supernatural at all.
When you say "Wouldn't it be exciting for students if both theories were taught in the classroom?" you really should be referring to science/naturalism on one hand vs. hundreds or thousands of religious/supernatural beliefs on the other. It is not just your religious belief vs. evolution; once you open Pandora's box, the problem is much larger.
I'm partial to Old Man Coyote, myself. Should that be taught also?
ID and evo are the two front running scientific theories.
Either both should be taught or neither.
