Then answer this ... What is wrong with doing comparison teachings of evolution and Intelligent Design? Hey if evolution is perfect then what is the problem? What are these evolution scientist scared of if evolution is the answer ? What are you scared of if evolution is the answer? If evolution is the answer then what is wrong with teaching both of the ideas and let the student decide? Would that be too much to ask in a Democratic society? Why not let the parents decide this issue and keep the g-dless courts out of it. We are the taxpayers who support the State run schools and it should be our say in what is taught.
I guess I wouldn't have a problem with it if such a comparison was an elective course and not required. The issue, though, is that Intelligent Design is not science. It fails the tests of what science is.
You can't elevate ID to an equally valid explanation simply because you want to. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of alternate explanations to evolution, from Scientology to ancient Indian legends. Would you have the schools teach them all? Treat them all as equally valid explanations?
