I think it's unfair to analogize from Marx to theories of Intelligent Design. Yes, ID hasn't advanced very far since Thomas Aquinas, back in the Middle Ages.

Yet - science can't rule God out, by definition. True science cannot measure God, thus, must be agnostic when it comes to God. So, depending on the curriculum, there is a place for that to be said.

I hear ya. I'm thinking more of how much scientific & logical support they both have, compared to the alternatives.

Fair enough. But the debate in the country's school boards is all around what should go into the science curriculums & textbooks. Whenever somebody proposes a compromise to put ID in a comparative religion class, the ID activists always reject that.
