Ok, actually, I DO think it should be given an amount of time in science class, worthy of its contribution to science. That would be about 3 minutes, at the begining of Evolutionary theory class, which itself should run about 20 hours or so. A simple statement like "Intelligent Design is the idea that, a higher power or being created the Universe, earth, and all the life encountered on it." That didn't take long. Class dismissed.
Class, we will now discuss all of the scientific evidence known to justify "Intelligent Design"... (sound of crickets chirping).
I think this is a typically "drive-by" L.S.M.'s attempt to drive a wedge on this issue!??!
Dick deVos was partly raised in the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and they certainly do NOT teach anything but Creation!!!
Y'know, I had that thought, but took it a step further. Start with what you said above, and then add "This class deals with, and I will teach, the best current scientific knowledge available, not religion or philosophy. I have no control over what you believe, but you will need to know and understand the science to pass this class. Now open your books ..."
