On the contrary, it is you who needs to explain the desperate need for a hermetic seal on the science classroom, to explain what great harm would be done by allowing 30 to 45 seconds a semester for a disclaimer to the effect that, "Some people think God is behind it all."

This isn't what's being proposed. ID'ers want to interrupt class and tell students that science can't do anything right and then send them off to read a book full of nonsense.

Very little science is taught in public schools as it is. Undermining the little instruction that's left could put off impressionable kids form studying science at all.

If science were actually taught well in school we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

I don't think that's true. No one I know advocates that.
