Religion has no place in a science class, just as gym has no place in music class. They are different subjects and should be taught as so. I asm all for a condensed religion class teaching about the many varied religions of the world, but science is supported by the scientific method which cannot be applied to non-secular creationism. If one is to teach ID alongside of evolution as a less likely possibility, so long as God is never brought up, it's alright. Clearly ID does not have to case that evolution does, but there could be a better explainiation we discover 50 years down the road that disproves evolution. They're both stll theories. As long as they are both taught as theories, and God is left at home, in church, and maybe a religion class, I'm cool.
Is ID superstition? I dunno. Anyuthing could be superstition. The scientific world 100 years ago was riddled with superstition, but it was at that time considered sxcientific fact. ID could be something we simply grow out of, or it may be something we can prove. I leave that to much more intelligent people than myself.
