What ever happened to the theory proposed by Teilhard de Chardin, a brilliant Jesuit paleontologist, which postulated that perhaps evolutionary processes were the tool God used to create life? Isn't that a form of "Intelligent Design?"

BTW, I personally believe in "Teach the Controversy." If I were a Biblical Creationist, why would I not want my kids to know there are people out there who may not believe what I want them to believe? Conversely, if I were an atheist and a strict evolutionist, shouldn't my kid know there are others out there, just as smart, who disagree?

This is getting a little nuts. After all, we are still in the "Theory" stage in most of human knowledge. We know evolution takes place. We don't know "how," we don't know "how much," and we sure as hell don't know "why."
