Science does not deal with the supernatural but the natural. The supernatural is beyond what it can measure or observe or test. So scientists are then unqualified to make any statements about it. Would you rather that they go about making ignorant statements on a subject matter ofwhich they know nothing, and thereby making fools of themselves and deceiving people into believing that they know more than they do; or would you rather advise them to stick to their area of expertise and leave the theological issues to theologians and philosophical issues to the philosophers?

And, by the same logic, would you not also agree that ID and creationism should stay out of science classes?

Scientists are the ones stating that science does not does not deal with the supernatural. I haven't seen any Christians/creationists/IDers/whatever say that the supernatural excludes the natural. If scientists don't take the supernatural into consideration or have no way to measure, test, or observe it, then they are in no position to make intelligent, well-supported comments on it; all they have to offer at that point is their opinion based on speculation, which should not be presented as scientific fact or findings.
