I am technically a Creationist and advocate of Intelligent Design--which are not necessarily the same thing--and have long been on the record that neither are science and should not be taught as science.
I am also long on the record that no science teacher should ever tell a student that there is no such thing as Creationism or Intelligent Design.
I have no problem with a teacher telling students that Creatism and/or Intelligent Design are believed by many people in many cultures and both can answer questions that Evolution cannot. However they are not science and will not be included in the science curriculum and won't be a satisfactory answer on any test.
I am long on the record that there is a lot of scientific support for Evolution and it must be included in the science curriculum.
I believe an honest science curriculum will also include the concept that Evolution cannot answer all questions and there is still more science to discover than what we already know.
And I resent being told by pointy heads and anti-religionists and fanatics and numbnuts that a person cannot be a Creationist and IDer AND an Evolutionist all at the same time.
