Intelligent design becomes more interesting if approached philosophically. It is an interesting question, I'm willing to admit. I just don't think it's an appropriate one for science to attempt to answer. If supporters of creationism/intelligent design spend as much energy and creativity towards getting religious studies and philosophy classes added to school curricula, I don't think there would be any objections. In fact, I think people in science and engineering disciplines would be lining up beside them to support the measures. If there's anything students need is more classes with reading, writing, and reasoning components.
Definitely. I'd also add economics classes; of course the Democrat-controlled NEA would never go for that.
