No, most who are opposed to teaching all three options know almost nothing of any of them. It is simply an extension of their fight to remove God from every facet of life.
ONLY in the science room. Creationism simply will never have “scientific merit” because it is merely a belief and can never be anything BUT a belief.....an untestable and unprovable belief. Ya simply do not discuss and debate a theistic belief system in a Biology class.
However, you wanna have the discussion of the 3 options, you can have it in a philosophy or religious studies class or even a specialized origins of life debate class.....yes, in a public school. I’d even let ‘em teach YEC in a philosophy or religious studies class....give the kids something to laugh about.
“Hey kids, today we’re gonna talk about hos Man walked with vegetarian T. rex within the last 4,351 years?”
“ONLY in the science room...”
What about theistic evolution?
How do you talk about a belief in a God in a scientific manner?
Many, including many evolutionist, (even some on this thread) believe that belief in God is logical based on what they see and observe in the natural world.
IDers argue that the information in the DNA of the initial life form must have come from an intelligent agent based on what has been observed regarding where information originates. We have seen information come from intelligence, but not from any other source. I guess the intelligent agent does not have to be God, but can have theistic implications I suppose. Would you object to teaching in the science classroom that the origin of information in the first life form could have come from an intelligent agent?
