"I support government schools presenting Evolution in science class, along with material that criticizes Evolution and explains why some people don't accept it. Example: evolution of the blood-clotting mechanism, evolution of the eye, issues involving probability of random mutations creating the world we see within the stated time-frame. There are criticisms that can be levied against Evolution. I want them to be included in Biology classes. Do you support that?"

That's reasonable. There should be no problem with that, as long as it doesn't misrepresent evolutionary theory.

And ID (or divine intervention) has its place in sociology or philosophy classes, but not in the hard sciences. Do you support that?

But it misrepresents biology, both theory and fact. That is what those links posted a few posts upthread tell you.

Why should the false claims made by religious believers be included in any science classes when the findings of science directly contradict them?
