be required teaching alongside evolution?

So many people these days are confusing biblical creationism with intelligent design. "Intelligent Design is the study of patterns in nature that are best explained as the result of intelligence" (Dr. William Dembski). That's it; it says nothing of who the creator is and how he/she/it/they did it. Intelligent Design encompasses every "creation" story, even aliens seeding life on this planet.
Most Christians I know don't want biblical creationism taught in science classes. What we want is for molecules-to-man evolution to be taught with all its warts (they are not even allowed to present evidence that would put evolution in a poor light). And we want intelligent design to at least to be presented. Unlike leprechauns and a flat earth, etc., a significant percentage of the (tax paying) population believes in ID.

No, intelligent design is just ******** and the FSM is an illustration of the absolute absurdity of religion.

Why not. If they are going to teach parasitic reasoning to children might as well do it right.

Why don't you atheists all call up Richard Dawkins and ask him out on a date? It's obvious you want to have his baby. I say go for it, what's the worst that can happen?
Edit ... Only 4 thumbs down?? Come on, that was funny!

As long as FSM-ID is given equal time to non-FSM-ID.

No. Neither is science.
