I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with the evolutioists insisting that creation/ID not be taught just because THEY don't believe in it. They're doing the same thing they comdemn in creatonists. This is like the Scopes trial in reverse. At first all the evolutionists wanted was equal time for their theory. Now look where we've arrived. They tell us that fossils STRONGLY SUPPORT evolution and yet treat it as fact after they tell us that you can't prove anything in science. I can't believe that they feel free to attack someone's world view and then be surprised when there's a reaction. They may know a lot about evolution but seem to be lacking in knowledge of human nature.

I have no problem with ID and creationism being taught in schools, so long as they're not taught in science class. They aren't science. If you want the schools to have a "spiritual beliefs" class, or a religion class, then I have no problem with ID, creationism, karma, reincarnation, and any other topics or ideas related to religious and spiritual beliefs being taught, so long as they're presented in context.

If we're talking about bringing ID into a science classroom (so-called "equal time"), then I would also require that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Scientology, and Raelianism be given "equal time". My guess would be that the kids will find all but one to be rather hilarious.
