Sorry, if you are looking for an argument as many seem to be, I'm not one of them. Don't make suppositions that I'm "insisting" anything. I don't think that ID is an "alternative" equal to evolution in a scientific sense because it is more faith based than anything. 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.
As for being open-minded. I seem to be one of the few here that doesn't have any problem with either ID or evolution. Even though I'm strongly in the creationist camp, I can respect and learn from the opinions of evolutionists. I don't disregard science at all either and have stated that many times here.
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.
