Of course, that’s how creationism and ID should be taught, but doing so would make even more moderate christians join the ID crowd, which would be very, very bad.

Ok. Let’s have the ID proponents formulate a lesson plan. What the heck would that look like? How could they possibly teach about the origin of life with a ‘designer’ without referencing some religious text? It’s impossible. Forcing them to show a lesson plan for a biology class would show their true colors.

Actually, I’m all FOR teaching ID in school. I mean, in my freshman high school biology class we learned about spontaneous generation. In chemistry, we touched on alchemy. By all means, let’s teach ID, especially if the proponents can’t come up with non-religious lesson plans we can just show that it’s as dumb as SG and alchemy and astrology.

Thank you for your links. The Science Friday website is still linking to an oceanography report, so I don’t think they plan to put up a link to this segment.
