Well, not quite. If they wanna talk about "intelligent design" in a class on "comparative philsophy" or "comparative religion" in public schools, I've got no problem with that being done---but NOT in biology class.
Both of you made good points. My parents and church were all I needed to teach me about ID--a religious-based issue. If one has to depend upon teachers, then I don't think that's good. However, I've got no problem with learning it as you describe or even discussing it briefly. One thing that people forget is that many people have many different versions of creation, even from the same religion. Among the 10 people in my Sunday school class, there were 10 different versions of how the earth was created. We all agreed in principle that God was the facilitator, but how the process happened is not very well defined. One guy thought that things had been placed here from another planet. Which version do we teach? I do think we need to be careful, but I don't mind having ID mentioned as long as it doesn't become some political fiasco.
You must not be Catholic. They have no problem with evolution, and thus the true claim by our side that "most Christians believe evolution", since the Catholics have so many members. I'm sure some other Christian denominations accept evolution as well.
It's too bad your denomination does not. Certainly some of your young members will reject your denomination, and perhaps their faith, when they learn that they've been taught bunk, as proven by the evidence they have in their hands.
