I'm not trying to be combative here. But I see a huge difference between unsolicited sharing of the gospel (e.g. door knocking) and aggressive, forced conversions (e.g. the Spanish Inquisition).
And I also see a difference between door knocking (in which a person is asked to accept a religious belief) and the way IDers want their beliefs taught in schools (in which a person is asked to consider a religious belief).
But I don't see a difference between door knocking and trying to convince students that, as far as evolution is concerned, the phrase scientific theory (as opposed to just the word theory) is equivalent to the phrase belief that all non-ignorant people will bet their life savings on.
All that being said... No, I don't think ID should be taught in schools. I had this whole long paragraph... but I'll just leave it at that.
So bioengineering should be removed from all curriculum?

I guess we've been in agreement on this all along.
Maybe we only disagree on the teaching of evolution. Good luck on trying to stop evolution from being taught, if that's what you want. It is a 'scientific theory' for which there is a mountain of evidence, but that's a whole other discussion I really don't want to get into.
All I'd like to say is that people can choose not to believe (evolution) it if they want. They can also choose to not believe in the theories of electricity and magnetism. They'll just have trouble explaining how their TV and PC work.
One thing that makes evolution vulnerable to argument is that (to my knowledge) there have not been practical applications of the theory that people can see in their everyday life. IIRC, Einstein's theories were in this position for awhile. That being said, maybe someone someday will come discover a better scientific theory that explains the evidence. Science does not rule this possibility out. If that happens, evolution will be retired. But it seems highly unlikely.
