I have no problems with briefly mentioning that some people believe in ID. However, I don't think it should be more than briefly. I don't think there should be a whole class built around it.

Then I'm sure you won't mind more than just Christian "ID/creationism". Maybe Coyteman's got some more creation myths for us today that should also receive honorable mention in science class. To be fair, once we open up science class to what anyone might believe, then we'll be awfully busy just mentioning all those ideas. It might be pretty hard to get real science presented.

Even though I'm strongly in the creationist camp, I can respect and learn from the opinions of evolutionists.

The real failure of some Christian denominations here is they've convinced themselves that it must be either ID/creationism or evolution, but not both. Many Christians believe that evolution was one of Gods most elegant creations.

Just think of it. Evolution operates a system that is self-correcting, self-improving even. It acquires it's own energy for operation from its surroundings. And it's operated non-stop for 3 billion years or so, with the potential to operate for eternity (provided someone can carry life out of the solar system before the sun explodes).

Evolution is an impressive creation. Too bad you can't appreciate it's glory.

Geezzz.. why are there so many people looking for some kind of argument from me???? I DO appreciate evolution and science as I've said many times here. I regard science as our way of explaining God's processes. Those who like to ridicule science forget that because of it, we have the things that we do.

I think that you made a good point too. There are THOUSANDS of creation theories out there. To present all of them would be "interesting" to say the least. I said earlier, that even in my Sunday school class there were 10 different versions of the creation by 10 different people. Which one should we teach?

Man, I never knew that in trying not to get into arguments that people would want to argue with me so much.
