I never said to teach them non-scientific theory. I said that while teaching the scientific process it would be helpful to give them a more full understanding of the boundaries of the process. To use certain ideas that are not within the scientific process as examples of what and how they are not part of the process can give a more full understanding of the process.
It is not my contention that the evidences of such a non-scientific theory should be taught in the science class, but that a full and real understanding of the process be taught with all available tools so that a real understanding of science can be obtained rather than a truncated and lopsided misunderstanding that leads people to think that ID is a scientific theory when it does not fit into that framework.
