On God in the Science Classroom

High school sciences should discuss intelligent design versus darwinism.

I would bet you a dime and a doughnut that it would be most interesting discussion topic of the school year. Unlike the creationism of yore, ID has decided that it can play within the rules of science. Think about that for a second. People are working to rationally prove the existence of the Lord's handiwork. Scientific theories to prove the existence of a higher being.

This is a great way to make the scientific method more interesting to teenagers.

I've been reading about these ID guys and the handful conflicting of God-Is-Out-There theories out there. With a deft high school level use of the scientific method, these theories could be put to the test in the classroom. And yes, the method would empirically prove these theories incorrect. Of course, this would not prove or disprove the existence of God, but it would certainly would help illuminate nature of science and scientists—the less mysterious the better.
