Would anyone oppose the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools if it were approached as a theory just as the Theory of Evolution is? I mean, just because one does not support it, does it mean teaching it is so terrible?

One is based on something not entirely explainable as is the other. Are the cries for 'teach this' and 'don't teach that' nothing more than personal preference?

Communism is something I don't agree with, yet I was taught what it's about in school. It wasn't taught with the meaning of enforcing it's view upon the students, but for an educational outlook on how other cultures think, etc. If the idea of Intelligent Design is proposed as the theory that it is, is there that much harm in it being taught to students?
