Who cares whether you call it “science” or not. The real issue is WHY people like you are so adament that it be tought completely separately, instead of in conjunction? Is it simply because we call the class “science class”? If so, then fine, let’s change the name to “science/creation class”. If there is some other reason, then what is it? Is it because you think ID “taints” science? If so, then see my original point.
Because the most important aspect of science education is teaching the scientific method, the formal process by which scientists evaluate information and determine facts. ID is not compatible with the scientific method, and teaching it in science class will inevitably confuse students and hurt the teaching of science.
