I'm not in favor of religion being taught in a science classroom per se, but I think the concept of intelligent design should be taught along with Darwinism.
SCIENCE is something that can be observed. Since neither creationism nor evolution can be observed, neither is science.
Many would argue that Evolution can be observed, but you must admit that while we have watched speices change within themselves, we've never seen a species morph into a completely different species. Natural selection is one thing, Evolution is different. I know many will disagree. But if it cannot be observed, it should not be taught as science and/or truth. That goes for both theories.
It seems to me, however, that many Evolutionists are very scared of the concept of a Designer/Creator. All of the evolutionists I've heard speak have been VERY defensive and turned downright ugly when questioned about the Intelligent Design theory. If it really was THAT ridiculous, I don't think it would be such a hot button subject. Hmm.
