The only thing I have to say on this subject is that some extremist Muslim governments teach nothing but the Koran in schools. We all know the result of that. You should not teach "faith"; faith is not learned. There is a reason it takes one period to teach Creationism: you are not learning anything. Someone is telling you something happened, with no dissection of why or how, as there can be none. There is no education in religion. I agree that ID does appear to be nothing more than an attempt to force science into Creationism. I myself take the view of a God inspired Big Bang and then more of a hands-off approach for the rest of time, but in school I learned science, and I experienced religion in church. I am happy with that distinction, and I think we should continue to pursue the ideal of separation of church and state, even if certain things (e.g.,Christmas as a national holiday) make that sort of futile.
