"They have no animus to science per se, just would like to have school children presented with the alternate concept that God may have created man."

The problem I have with that is "Which version of God?"

There are thousands of Gods in human history, personally I'm not too keen on teaching kids any version that does not include Thor, the God of Thunder. Other people may insist on including Shiva The Destroyer.

The whole issue can be avoided if people would simply take their kids to Sunday school once in a while, or pack them off to Bible camp, as my parents did to me. There's no reason why kids can't learn about that stuff outside the confines of a public school.

I'm fine with using the Bible in English classes as a work of literature, though, that King David was a damn fine poet.
