Students and teachers will never be able to discuss the possibility of an Intelligent Designer creating Life, because Judge Jones and the ACLU have said that unguided evolution is the only possibility and competing theories can't be discussed in science class. Sad, really.

I discuss it in my science class. I discuss why it may be true, but it isn't science.

Science doesn't deal with right vs. wrong or good vs. bad, either. That doesn't mean those concepts don't exist; it just means they aren't part of science.

I didn't learn much, if anything, about "least common denominator" in English class, but that didn't make it a less valid topic in math class.

I seem to recall touching on these in Science (Sociology) class. The "irrational roots of rationality" of Max Weber pondered why we do the "right" thing.
