I've never understood the harm in teaching Intelligent Design and Unintelligent Design side-by-side.

Evolution is science, Intelligent Design is religion/philosophy. Mixing religion with science will leave the religion intact, but will bastardize and make useless the science that is being taught. This recent movement to teach creationism in science classes is about as refreshing and wonderful as the movement for slave reparations.

[Junior_G:] Using science as a tool to promote atheism and to replace the constitutional system will "bastardize and make the science useless".

Schools are not defined by the sciences - they are established by the society to serve the needs of society. Making the science the ultimate authority makes science the established church and changes scientists into priestohood of scientism.

It was already tried in the Soviet Union in form of scientific socialism and historical materialism.
