I'm all in favour of children being presented with alternative theories and encouraged to think for themselves, as long as it's in the right class.
​
I can't think of any creationists/IDists who would allow this. That's the problem with the whole thing: for us, it's all or none. For the creationists/IDists, they don't want their children being "brainwashed" with other religions (I see this firsthand with my girlfriend).

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the whole world could agree to free one generation from being brainwashed with the religion of their parents.
​
Indeed it would, indeed it would. Some day, we shall find solidarity in such things. Just not in MY lifetime, I'm afraid.

Re: Christian does not equal fundamentalist, nor young earth creationist
Does the average, run-of-the-mill christian fight for ID or creationism to be taught in school?
​
Maybe I should have rephrased it, but I didn't think every point ever made had to be rehashed in every post.

Re: Christian does not equal fundamentalist, nor young earth creationist
It's annoying and misleading when creationists randomly substitute 'atheist', 'scientist' and 'evolutionist' for one another...
​
good point. I amended my post.
