I think Christians should support an amendment outlawing anything that has been learned since the 11th Century.

You mean you want to amend a previous amendment to the Constitution and remove the Establishment clause? You want an established religion in the USA with all other religions illegal. Which religion will you establish? Southern Baptist? Episcopalian? Catholic?
If you are going to outlaw the teaching of evolution, you should outlaw the teaching of germ theory of disease transmission. That is completely against what it says in the Bible. You should, in fact, outlaw all science and mathematics as every single scientific discipline disagrees with something in the Bible.
The Founding Fathers of the USA had the right idea with the First Amendment. Throwing that out will make the USA the laughing stock of the world and propel you even faster to third world status.

Personally, I don't think there should be a law outlawing the teaching of evolution or Christianity. However, what seems to be happening is that the evolution people are pushing God completely out of the mix and so Christians are attempting to retaliate.
Also, I do know that recently some scientists have combined forces on their beliefs and how we came to be.

Intelligent Christians won't. Other Christians shouldn't. The ones who would support an ammendment like that are likely the ones that know nothing about it. In order to vote about something like that, I think you should, in the very least, be able to pass a test about evolution to prove you know what you're outlawing.

No, I am a Christian, I believe that God created all in His own timing. Mankind is the one that has put the time limits on Him. So in doing so there are those that question their existence and need an answer. Whether I agree or not with this, in the USA we still have choices. To many heated debates on the issues. Live and let live is what I say.

No...if they don't want the teaching of "Intelligent Design" to be taken out, then they shouldn't go for an amendment that takes away peoples' rights to learn about other views, like evolution, either.

Well if they were consistent they would.
After all, the Bible specifically says that God created all things, and it doesn't mention a thing about evolution. And as we all know, the Bible is the word of God so it can't be wrong.
They should also push for an amendment making women the property of their husbands, because that's what the Bible says.

Anyone who supported such a Constitutional Amendment would thereby be standing in opposition to the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom of the Press, and Religious Freedom....So what do you think? Should they?

No, not in any state or community funded school. If you were Baptist, would you want Roman Catholic ideas pushed at school? If you were Roman Catholic, would you want Baptist ideas pushed at school? What about if you were Jewish or Buddhist?
The trouble with the theory of evolution is that it is the only explanation of how we got here that has any evidence supporting it. The rest is sheer slavish following of ancient texts.

No.
The largest Christian denomination in the world officially supports evolution and teaches it in their schools. Why would they want an ammendment to outlaw the teaching of official Church doctrine?
