The only thing I can say is that to me, science classes have always been to learn about nature without applying "God" as the answer. It isn't to "dismiss God" and I fear that many ID'ers think that it is. It is because God is so encompassing that to use Him as an answer to everything we see would make studying science rather unmotivating. Some of the best of the earliest scientists were "men of the cloth" (Gregor Mendel comes to mind) and to them, they theorized in a way that did not put God into the equation. To them, they were just discovering what rules God had already laid down (as you mentioned in a post).
Now I know that Evolution is the real anger spot with people because of its obvious contradictions with Genesis. I don't deny that one bit. But I don't think we should turn our backs on it just because there is a contradiction. Why? Because we have done such things before and paid a heavy price for it. I don't mean just Galileo... I am talking about events such as the Library of Alexandria burning. It was a great loss of knowledge that took a long time to get back.
If anything let's learn from our mistakes of the past. Let's not deny evidence just because it doesn't quite "fit" with what the Bible says. Instead... patience is the virtue is it not? If God is real and God exists... then a pure search for the truth is going to reveal that... or at least it is not going to contradict it.
But ID is not the way to do it. Pushing it as a science is really bad. You are better off telling your children that Evolution is a scientific theory. Theories are based on evidence but in the end, can be superceded by new evidence. And that... is why you should be patient.
Good night and thanks.
Well good heavens. As I've said, the continual mention of God in connection with science would be like reading Mark Twain and saying his name after every sentence; checking to make sure he is still the author. Absurd.
I'm with you on the need for patience, and so is my psychiatrist.
