Yes, by all means start teaching ID in class and DEMAND that kids do science fair projects on it. See how long it takes for ID to fall apart. This might lead many kids to realize some other truth's about what they are being taught on Sunday's and maybe, just maybe, those kids will start to realize that it is not OK to dislike others just because they are of a different group and don't worship an imaginary friend in the same way as that kid's family.
Think of all the good that could come from a whole generation of kids forced to look at religion in general and ID in particular through the eyes of science. Perhaps by doing so we can avoid a theocracy in our own country.
Therefore my vote is, make ID mandatory, and make it mandatory that 50% of the kids in class must do an ID science project. The potential for good vastly outweighs the potential for any harm.
B.
But in order to get ID into public schools in the first place, it has to have at least some scientific value.
Science can't measure the metaphysical (that which is beyond physics). If God is truly divine, then God exists in a realm beyond the physical. Science will NEVER prove something that it cannot measure. If something is not in the realm of science, it has absolutely no business being in a science book or project.
If by some perverse, idiotic, stupid way ID gets into textbooks, we need to figure out a way to get a serious scientific study of ghosts, demons, werewolves, and every other unscientific unproven s
uperstition that humanity has ever come up with as well. Let's be fair. Science needs to study what it can actually review.
