Yet, what would happen if a few minutes were set aside at the start of every semester to discuss whether a deity created the universe, its laws, and life or whether those things just happen to exist and work the way they do by happenstance?

Why should it be one deity? Why are you favoring monotheism over polytheism on the one hand, and atheism on the other?

Reminds me of a classical atheistic debating tactic--answering Pascal's wager with a counter-dilemma of higher multiplicity. :-)

Cheers!
