Hey creationists & ID'ers. I have a couple of problems with your "direction".
In one way, ya'll seem like a man so busy trying to get out the door that you don't notice the GRIZZLY BEAR on the stoup. If creationism or ID are accepted & taught in PUBLIC schools, which one will it be? Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Aztec, Cherokee, Apache, Seminole, and on and on and on. Which one, or all? How many religions/creators are there in Africa right now? Anybody know, or care.
Do you really want your kids coming home with stories of the sun god & human sacrifice? Do you really want the public school bureaucracy teaching religion? They do such a swell job with readin', 'ritten, & 'rithmetic now! And what kind of creationism will be taught by that muslim or hindu biology teacher? Probably NOT the kind you had in mind! Duh!.
My other problem with ID. Why can't religious people accept that evolution was part of the "design" from the very first "day"? Seems like a pretty cleaver design, too. And from a designers point of view, far more interesting than a static world where nothing ever changes.

Haida Creation Story
Long ago no divisions existed between humans, animals and spirits. All things of the earth, sky, and, water were connected and all beings could pass freely between them. The Raven was a trickster full of supernatural power. He stole the sun from his grandfather Nasshahkeeyalhl and made the moon and stars from it. The Raven created lakes, rivers and filled the lands with trees. He divided night and day, then pulled the tides into a rhythm. He filled the streams with fresh water, scattered the eggs of salmon and trout, and placed animals in the forests. The first human was hiding in a giant clamshell and Raven released them onto the beaches and gave humans fire. Raven disappeared and took with him the power of the spirit world to communicate and connect with humans.
