Don't you agree that teaching creationism (our understanding of it) in a science class is MORE false than evolution as far as science goes?
If you mean should we teach the universe is a few thousand earth years old and the rest of the stuff from the first couple chapters of Genesis ... in science class, no we certainly shouldn't do that.
Personally, I think being against "intelligent design" (the concept) makes little sense, but sadly, the company the concept keeps has gotten it off to a bad start. :)
Thats because of the influence of those wacky atheists control what is science and what isn't.
It doesn't mean there is some broad "agenda" in the country to push false science, right?
I think there's an agenda to suppress anything that suggests that there is something more than chance and materialistic forces involved in the universe. I think the NCSE has that agenda and that explains its attitude toward ID. I think such an agenda explains why Guillermo Gonzalez's career at the U of Ia was wrecked.
Note this recent news story:
Scientists discover a nearly Earth-sized planet
HATFIELD, England – In the search for Earth-like planets, astronomers zeroed in Tuesday on two places that look awfully familiar to home. One is close to the right size. The other is in the right place. European researchers said they not only found the smallest exoplanet ever, called Gliese 581 e, but realized that a neighboring planet discovered earlier, Gliese 581 d, was in the prime habitable zone for potential life.
"The Holy Grail of current exoplanet research is the detection of a rocky, Earth-like planet in the 'habitable zone,'" said Michel Mayor, an astrophysicist at Geneva University in Switzerland.

Thanks to the agenda I believe exists, a fellow who developed the galactic habitable zone concept is scientifically persona non grata. I consider this a prime example of how the athiest agenda can actually hurt science.
He is a world-class expert on the astrophysical requirements for habitability and on habitable zones and a co-founder of the "Galactic Habitable Zone" concept, which captured the October 2001 cover story of Scientific American. Astronomers and astrobiologists around the world are pursuing research based on his work on exoplanet host stars, the Galactic Habitable Zone and red giants.
