School me on religious arguments please...

God hates these posts. 

Your question is too complicated and my brain hurts.  I am going to pray for you to find a simple way to phrase your question.

I would like to know which jurisdictions require schools to teach intyelligent design. I have never heard of it being a requirement in public schools.

There are some that are attempting to do so but are being shot down in the courts. 

I just realized that I spelled intelligent wrong! whooppssss, that wasn't by design

Walk away. 

Not to mention where evolution is forbid.

ditto, I'm not aware of anywhere that it's forbidden other than maybe some religious schools.  However, even in most religious schools I'm aware of they teach creationism and evolution in their respective classes.  I believe they teach them as competing theories.

My opinion is ID should not be taught in science because it's not a science topic.  Evolution is the leading scientific theory, so it should be taught in science.  I do think schools should have more religion classes offered as well because there is a lot of good information available in them.  I know in college I had to take a few world religion type classes and they were very good classes.  There's nothing wrong with offering them at the High School level.

One of our local school districts was involved in a law suit over this issue that received national news attention several years ago:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitzmiller_v._Dover_Area_School_District

My personal feelings are that if religious groups want creationism and their other beliefs taught in public schools, there is nothing wrong with offering theology classes that discuss multiple religions.  I'm opposed to school administrators or teachers only providing religious education based on their personal faith.  The science classroom is no place to be discussing faith based beliefs, and should be reserved for fact based education.

Different topic, but I personally have a lot of scientific issues with AGW, but it's still taught as "fact" in schools.  I feel that's one that is scientifically provable, yet due to political pressure it's pushed as fact.

I'm not suggesting ID be taught as fact in a science class because as I mentioned it's an un-provable theory that belongs in a religious type class and not a science class.

Actually, neither are taught as facts.  They are taught as theory.  Specifically scientific theory.  I know you put them in quotes, but it still does not represent what is true as it relates to the debate.  Now, there are scientific facts that support the various theories.  And you are 100% correct that ID cannot be tested and/or proven from a scientific theory and inquiry perspective.  But neither are truly facts.  And I know you know the difference between the two, but others that are joining in this discussion might not. 

From one scientist to another. 

lol, thanks.  

yeah the "fact" portion of AGW I was referring to was how much of the non scientific alarmism that gets taught in the schools.  I have one son in College, and two in High School and it's alarming how much of the non scientific propaganda gets fed to them.  In a bit of irony, it makes me see the other side of the creationism type discussion because I can see how someone who does not believe in creationism would react to creation "propaganda" being taught to their kids by teachers.

The training is actually pretty short, yeah?....."a supreme being created the universe" ..... the end.
