I havent read this entire thread. However, this is where I stand on this issue. Number one, people bring up that evolution is only a theory. Biology is a branch of the sciences where everything is a theory. Even if we were 99.999999999% sure that it was true, it would still be refered to as a theory. Now, if religious schools want to teach that kind of stuff in addition to science, that is fine. However, by no means should this be considered part of science. We can back up evolution quite a bit, there is nothing to back up that a higher being created everything. And I will tell you this, most likely, when I get around to having a kid, he/she will be sent to a public school. If I wanted him/her to be taught about religion/god, then I would have sent him/her to a religious school. Or I would have him/her go to sunday school. That is my stance. And also, intelligent design interferes/contradicts other religions such as Daoism, etc, so it would be unfair to teach it in public schools.
