I am sorry to see the issue positioned as evolution vs. creationism vs. intelligent design. From a rational point of view, none of these theories is wholly convincing. Why not just teach the pros of cons of each, and end up with the honest assessment that we just don't know? In a way, this is the most awe - inspiring thing about it all. It is not a bad idea that we be reminded of how large and important are the things we do not understand.

I'm a Christian and a creationist, but I agree completely with your assessment of what should be taught in public schools. As of now, only evolution is taught, and any scientific information which might highlight problems with the theory of evolution is ignored.

This is exactly what the ID position is.
