I've thought for some years now that a true discussion of the "alternatives" would pit science directly against religion. I don't think kids are dishonest enough to buy the unnamed designer crap. They would know.

Any real discussion would have to discuss the history of science, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton's speculations on angels as the tweakers of planetary orbits.. In short, the history of the successive retreat of the design hypothesis from all other areas of science.

If religion (e.g. ID) were allowed or forced into public school science classes it would also pit religions against religions and against thousands of versions of religions, in a science class.
