I think it might turn out to be a good idea if ID and Creationism were taught in science classes right along with Evolution. In fact, I think it's an excellent place to teach them. In science class, students should be taught to use the scientific method. They should learn not only about current scientific beliefs, but just as importantly, how these beliefs evolved and are supported by observable facts. I think the result of applying the scientific method to ID and Creationism right along with Evolution would be rather revealing to everyone. Give kids some credit; they're not mindless automatons. They certainly don't believe everything they're told. In fact, to a far greater degree than adults, they question everything they hear. So let them hear the scientific and religious views, and encourage them to use the scientific method to evaluate the known observable facts supporting each and debate their findings. I have confidence we will all be better off in the end.
