If the teachers are citing the Bible as a science source, then you can begin to make a church/state issue out of it. If they're citing Dembski and Behe, you can't.

You mean, the Dembski who said

Christ is indispensable to any scientific theory, even if its practitioners don't have a clue about him. The pragmatics of a scientific theory can, to be sure, be pursued without recourse to Christ. But the conceptual soundness of the theory can in the end only be located in Christ.

and

ID is part of God's general revelation

Not only does intelligent design rid us of this ideology (materialism), which suffocates the human spirit, but, in my personal experience, I've found that it opens the path for people to come to Christ.

No church/state issue there, huh?

EEK! He expressed a religious view!

Too bad it was in a book that talked about the relationship between science and religion. Other scientists do that all the time of course without raising anybody's eyebrows, as long as they're doing it with approved theories.

So now you are saying that the government forbids people from coming to Christ. How is a scientist who understands the ontological reality of Christ in violation of a nonexistent church/state issue?

No church/state issue there -- unless you're a card-carrying member of the ACLU.
